Assuming you are using recent MVP hardware, the first thing I notice that's off is that you are missing a dongle.bin.mvpmc.ver file. During boot, the Hauppauge firmware bootloader retrieves this file to determine whether the server has a newer version of the firmware available. This page: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/LinuxFlashboot has instructions on how to generate the .ver file. I'd also recommend temporarily removing your dongle.bin.mvpmc.config from the /tftpboot directory, as it is not required for getting past the "Loading Application" stage, and may not be needed at all. On the other hand, a very minor error in dongle.bin.mvpmc.config will prevent mvpmc from starting. > The router is setup at address 192.168.0.1 and delivers > [DHCP] addresses starting at 192.168.0.100.

This seems to suggest you have both a router and some other machine on your LAN serving up DHCP addresses. This poses a conflict. You need to disable one of the DHCP servers, or carefully configure them so they aren't responding to the same requests. Until you need to deal with the loading of a dongle.bin.mvpmc.config, the mvpmc code will work fine without being given a "next-server" address, so you could just turn off dhcpd and let the MVP obtain an address from your D-Link router. > group { > next-server 192.168.0.100; # IP address of your TFTP server > > host mvp { > hardware ethernet 00:0d:fe:00:2a:4f; > fixed-address 192.168.0.200; > filename "dongle.bin.mvpmc"; > option root-path "/home/mvp,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,nolock"; > } > } I'm not sure what the root-path option does here. Is that something you found in one of the mvpmc howtos? > My /etc/default/atftp is: > USE_INETD=true > OPTIONS="--daemon --port 69 --tftpd-timeout 300 --retry-timeout 5 > --mcast-port 1758 --mcast-addr 239.239.239.0-255 --mcast-ttl 1 > --maxthread 100 --verbose=5 /tftpboot" You mean /etc/default/atftpd? When I looked at the atftp options specified in one of the mvpmc howtos, all of them represented the defaults and were not necessary. If you are running from inetd, none of the stuff on the OPTIONS line is used (see /etc/init.d/atftpd). Instead, examine the /etc/inetd.conf. That aside, I'd recommend using tftpd instead of atftpd, which in my experience was a bit buggier. My /etc/inetd.conf contains (whitespace compressed and lines wrapped): tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot 16869 dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot (I happen to use /var/lib/tftpboot instead of /tftpboot, as that's becoming the new standard, but adjust to your preferences.) The server listening on port 16869 is used by the Hauppauge firmware to load the dongle firmware. The server listening on the stock tftp port (69) is used by mvpmc code to load the config file (and theme file). Until you care about loading the config file, you only need the one on port 16869 running. Also absent from your description is mention of a boot server, like: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/perlboot which responds to a broadcast query from the Hauppauge firmware and tells it the IP address of the TFTP server. Without that, your MVP won't load the mvpmc dongle. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
