<div>Hello All,<br><br>As soon as I start to trick myself into believing that I am actually starting to get the hang of this (Been tinkering with Linux for about 3 months or so, Myth about a month) something comes along and makes me think I couldn't pour water out of a boot if there were instructions written on the bottom of it.
<br><br>Anyway, here is my hardware (however I think it is a software issue):<br><br>AMD64 3200+ (Dual Core)<br>2 Gig Ram<br>MSI K8N Neo4 Mobo<br>Nvidia 6600 256Meg <br>HD-3000 (for OTA HD)<br>1 Terabyte of HD Space <br><br>
I had this hardware up and running with Myth for the past week or two just tinkering to learn/play and it was working pretty well. Because I did so much "playing" with it, along with getting a DCT-6208 yesterday I wanted to add (I know you don't have to wipe clean to add a source), plus I just wanted more experience with Linux and Myth. I reinstalled FD4 this afternoon from scratch.
<br><br>I followed Jarod's guide the first time and it went pretty smooth. The HD-3000 was recognized and worked pretty much as close to "out of the box" as you can get.<br><br>Now I am having an issue with FC4 and the latest kernel. I use the DVD ISO to install FC4 x86 choosing the packages that Jarod lists. This installs kernel
2.6.11-1.1369smp. When I finish the initial boot setup (enabling NTP and setting up a user, etc) I log into X and look at the dmesg. (ie. NOTHING has been done to configure/customize anything)</div>

<div>Here is what it says: </div>

<div> </div>
<div>My question is, why does it detect the board as a "Oren OR51132 VSB/QAM Frontend"? It does still create /dev/dvb. The new kernel appears to be using the 0.0.5 DVB drivers so I am going to guess that is what is causing the difference in naming. Is there any issues with that? I plan to use it for OTA HD only.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, what in the heck is a "Thomson DDT 7610 (ATSC/NTSC)"? It lists that on both kernels. I am going to guess that it is something on the HD-3000 card since there are no other cards/tuners in the box.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I just wanted to understand what was going on instead of continuing to configure Myth and find out I need to do something now to save myself some headaches down the road.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>BTW, Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance,</div>
