Hi Matt-<br>
As a noob who has the same mobo I'd love to see what you come up with. I
haven't been able to get mine up and running. Of course, the bulk of my
problems have been trying to get a PVR-250 running (which you don't have
spec'd). The rest of the mobo stuff works great.<br>
<br>
I had the same plan as you (although not quite as extensive in the automation
dept). I bought the same mobo and CPUs. I also bought a couple
PVR-250's, only to find out that this mobo only has 1 slot compatible with the
cards. I've been trying on and off since April to get this working.
My wife and and I had our first child in March, so their hasn't been much free
time for me to work on this. I tried the 64-bit OS route and found that I
didn't gain much except a headache (be careful of some of the software
repository issues regarding the 64-bit distros), so I reverted to the 32-bit
versions. I've tried FC3 (jarod's guide), knoppmyth, gentoo, and suse
9.3. (And I'm about to try the new version of MythDora). I couldn't
get any of them to work with either of my PVR-250s. It's been a
couple months since I've last attempted an install, and I'm sure much has
improved in the 64-bit area since then so good luck. I'm not a linux
guru, which definitely accounts for some of the delay in getting this to
work. My guess is that you will have better luck. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
