<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>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)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
