iMedia Embedded Linux - iMedia Linux MythTV

EPIA PX10000G Unichrome Pro II MPEG support

doood — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 05:08:19 -0700

Hoping to start a good thread on this board.. although I haven't seen many people posting with this one. I've had pretty good luck with this board with the exception of playing MPEG2/4 files. I've built the latest driver using AGP and DRI, but have yet to get it working correctly. The latest openchrome drivers do not have any support as well.

need a different version of myth

I don't suppose it would be possible to get a version of myth using protocol 31 instead of 33. I purchased the full version of imedia but neither version of Myth was compatible with my backend, Knoppmyth F27.

new install on slightly oddball hardware

1stly, congrats on a really nice looking embedded distro, have previewed the vmware image & I am toying with the mythtv version on a via chipset board (VIA Nehemiah 1GHz). the only problem is that it has an oddball embedded video adapter (TVIA CyberPro 5005) that isn't supported by default in the imedia distribution and therefore Xwindows just crashes out. I have a linux driver module and 'startx -configure' finds most of the adapter info but obvoiusly I need to sink some time into getting the xorg.conf file sorted out. My question is really whether I should continue to bang my head against the wall trying to get it to work? I'm happy to shell out for the paid version as it's great value for money, but obvoiusly if it's never going to work then I'll cut my losses & look elsewhere for an albeit fatter but more compatible distro to go onto this particular machine.

Problem with USB Keyboard on VIA EPIA EX10000EG

Hi I've got a VIA EPIA EX10000EG mainboard (in a Mini-box M300 with Haupage 350) which does not have PS/2 connectors. So I have to use a USB keyboard. Now installing worked, but after reboot, the USB keyboard does not work. Does anyone know a workaround?

Hi, I have installed Imedia MythTV and it's very a great optimised distribution but I need to compile MythTV with North America Patch and sasc-ng module for DVB purpose. Imedia do not detect my DVB card.

EPIA EX10000EG - fails to boot: "try passing init= option to kernel"

I want to evaluate iMedia Linux MythTV. Installing it on a USB stick or on a HDD results in the same boot error: "try passing init= option to kernel" This is my setup: Silverstone SST-LC09S (Silver)

No luck with iMedia MythTV 5.0.2 on EPIA N NanoITX

rhollan — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 21:33:37 -0600

I tried installing on a hard drive from a DVD rom in a nano-ITX system (EPIA N), but the system would boot to one dot followed by some space and then three dots and hang. So, I tried a 4.0 GB CF card. That was worse: the DVD ROM couldn't be chained as a slave off the RoHS CF dongle on the IDE port, and I lacked a 44 pin mini IDE cable, so I tried installing to the CF card off an IDE port in another box. The CF card was an RData 4.0 GB model.

Installation

I've tried installing the imedia mythtv distribution 5.02 a couple of times. Every times, my computer reboots, X starts and then dumps back to console. It says it can't find myth-start. When I go to the opt/mythtv/bin directory, the only file in the directory is firstrun. When I try to run it, it says permission denied even as a root user. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help. I have a Epia M with 512 megs of ram.
