<DIV><SPAN class=858510923-19122005>Hi Gabriel,</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=858510923-19122005></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=858510923-19122005>I had hoped someone else would follow up, as
I haven't seen your exact problem. I can only offer general advice,
but I hope it helps. </SPAN><SPAN class=858510923-19122005>I recently
got Myth running on a fresh Gentoo install (with a 500 card) without major
problems (Gentoo was more trouble than Myth was). If you're having "HUGE"
problems, it might be time to back up a little bit, because (assuming your
hardware is OK; it may not be), it shouldn't be that hard. Most of the
problems I've had were from rushing through installation; when I go back and
read the instructions more carefully, things generally work better.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=858510923-19122005></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=858510923-19122005>IMO, the key to success is: getting one
thing running at a time, and making sure it works before moving to the next
item. Also, I'd try getting the bare-bones Myth running before adding
any other packages (I love portage, but I would expect that uninstalling things
would leave loose ends causing more problems). I'd also leave out
any startup automation until later; even if you have to manually start X,
mythbackend, and mythfrontend, you'll at least know it works in the simplest
possible case. And your hard drive errors sound pretty bad; if the drive
and interface check out, maybe there's a misconfiguration in the kernel, fstab,
etc. When/if you start over, spend some extra time on the drive config and
test it if possible (this is beyond my knowledge, maybe someone else can
help).</SPAN></DIV>
