[mythtv-users] Plextor PX-TV402U not recognized by KnoppMythTv

[Peter Pauwels]

A few days ago I decided to try out MythTv. As I am
not very familiar with installing many different
software packages in Linux, I downloaded the latest
Knoppmyth release 5A15, which according to the
changelog contains support for Plextor
PX-M402U/PX-TV402U and includes MythTv 0.18
(http://mysettopbox.tv/CHANGELOG.txt)
I did the manual install because I wanted to install
KnoppMyth on a seperate disk than WinXp.
It seems that the PX-TV402U is not recognized (by the
kernel ? hotplug?). I had a look in /var/log/messages
and saw that my USB mouse was recognized, but no
messages such as "localhost kernel: go7007-usb: found
a Plextor PX-M402U", as other users are getting
(http://forums.divx.com/eve/ubb.x/a/tpc/f/996105602/m/349102152/r/349102152).
Can anyone guide me through to get my PX-TV402U
recognized ?
I am not very familiar with kernels and kernel
modules, but I am happy to learn about it ;-)
