[mythtv-users] cannot open /dev/video0

[Abigail Smith]

Thanks for the help.  I found the knoppmyth forum and I think I found the answer.  I'll keep everyone posted.
   
  Yes this was/is a fresh install.  Completely from scratch.
   
  Thanks,
   
  Abby

OK, taking a couple of steps back here:

Is this an absolutely "from scratch" KnoppMyth installation,or was it 
an existing Knoppix install you are trying to get KnoppMyth to run on 
top of.

It's beginning to sound like you do not have a real "from the 
beginning" KonppMyth install, because, while they can have problems, 
they normally at least can access the capture cards. You may have 
files hanging around that are not compatible with KnoppMyth and 
didn't get deleted/overwritten by your installation.

If you haven't already, I would try starting from an absolutely blank 
hard drive and installing KnoppMyth from total scratch.
