Hi,
I installed my MythTV about a year ago (FC3 using Jarod's guide) and
it has been excellent and stable ever since.
I suppose it was bound to happen at christmas :-( but I went on
holiday, there must have been a power cut and Myth backend did not come back
up. Not sure of the exact sequence of events but I got this system
e-mail during the same period:
Jarod's guide
==========================
This email was generated by the smartd daemon running on:
host name: mythtv.home.theansells.com
DNS domain: home.theansells.com
NIS domain: (none)
The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:
Device: /dev/hda, 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors
For details see host's SYSLOG (default: /var/log/messages).
You can also use the smartctl utility for further investigation.
No additional email messages about this problem will be sent.
============================
Now the system boots past udev, etc as far as the graphical rotating hour
glass which just sits there rotating.
I realise this is probably some fault/corruption with FC rather than MythTV
as such, but you guys have been so much help when I set the system up I was
hopeing for some pointers.
I can't even get in to the system. Tried booting to other installed
kernels, same result. Can't remote in.
What is the best recovery/debug method, hopefully without total loss of
MythTV recordings!
Many Thx,
Dave
