I was primarily having problems with dependencies and with the program guide working properly. You shouldn't have any problems with dependencies if you follow Jarod's guide. Last time I set up a system on FC using his guide everything I needed was within the ATRPMS repository. Atrpms makes the installation easy indeed. However I have been trying to figure out why is it that atrpms repository has recompiled packages? I don't want to mess too much with the std. installation. Seems a bit too risky for my purposes anyway. What is the difference between normal Fedora packages and the ones from Atrpms and with the xxx.at naming? I usually pull the Myth stuff and then remove the atrpms.repo because of this. -M ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Disabling IRQ

Problem I had was related to RAID-5 controllers which were disabled after heavy activity. I'm running a MSI 694D board with two PIII-800 processors. The fix was to force the IRQ selection off from Fedora with a Grub boot command. Don't know if it helps but this what is working for me. pci=noacpi This is placed to the grub.conf after the kernel string -M ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Personally I would go for the faster drive. IMHO - MAxtor drives are junk. Have had to replace 2 already. Of course, they were both covered under warrenty so its not a huge deal. I noticed both times they upgraded me to a different drive so it might be model specific. Mine were both 240gb drives from about a year ago. I have a 4800rpm laptop drive on mine...it is a frontend though. Server has 5400rpm disks because of price, power reqs. and cooling needs are smaller. -M ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Don't use anything less than a recent 60gb HDD or the noises made by the heads when in use will drive you nuts. Johnathon It is possible to reduce seek noise with hdparm. I have done it with my apache server which is running less than a meter from my right ear. Quiet as a mouse now. I have not noticed performance effect in my use but there might be some in heavy duty usage. -M ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
