Yes, see: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/Mediamvp#toc3 It breaks down to two categories of machines referred to as non-flash and flash. You D is the former and your H is the latter. They use different bootloaders and thus require different things on the back-end server to support the boot process. > It sounds like I need to find another setup guide. Any suggestions? The guide you followed did touch on the need to setuop a DHCP server to support older hardware: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/MediaMVP_Frontend#Installation%20and%20Configuration%20of%20a%20DHCP%20Server but it didn't go into the specifics. There are a number of them linked from this page: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/bootsever Try the ones marked "non-flash" for your rev. D hardware. Possibly this old one from 2005 is the best for rev. D hardware: http://mvpmc.sourceforge.net/mvpmc-HOWTO-singlehtml.html You just need to use some judgment when following it, and skip the obsolete bits, like where to obtain the mvpmc dongle. The wiki also has better coverage of how to create a startup script ("config file") and what to put in it. Generally the wiki has more up to date information on specific areas, like DHCP server setup, so I'd do searches there as you work though the guide. (The howtos are rather a mess and need to be reorganized, but it's hard to make that happen, as experienced users have moved on from setup, and newbies don't know enough yet to know what needs to be reorganized. I was hoping to someday create a "wizard" that would pose questions and guide you to the best howto for your hardware and back-end combination.) I believe it is possible to configure a boot server that will support both hardware revisions, and I think a setup that works for rev. H, should also work for rev.
