[mythtv-users] PVR 500 and nforce2 chipset

[Tarick Karkache]

Larry,

I am running a Hauppauge PVR-500 on a MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR NForce2, no
problems.
I followed the setup from Jarod Wilson's FC4 howto. Very straight forward.
Only snag to watch for is the kernels when upgrading the distro via yum, as
Axel @ atrpms has not released updated kernel modules yet. I would recommend
going to http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#sw. Manually install kernel
2.6.12-1447, and update the rest of the distro.

Cheers,
Tarick
