Hi. My pcHDTV-3000 card arrived today. Shoved it in a box, stuck in a spare hard drive, stuck in the R5A15.1 CD I burned and let 'er rip.

Before the "Welcome" message, I get a "pnp: PnPACPI: METHOD_NAME_CRS failure for PNP0c01" message, but it continues anyway.

After selecting 2. Auto Install, then entering user names, passwords, and such, it bombs with:

/user/local/bin/KnoppMyth-auto: line 608: / 1000000 syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/ 1000000")

This is my first shot at KnoppMyth and MythTV at all. I've set up Linux boxes before, but it's been a few years.

I get the same results with the R5A15 (not .1) CD image I downloaded. Interestingly, the image named R5A15 identified itself at the boot prompt as R5A14.

System has a Intel D865GBF motherboard, Pentium 4 2.6 GHz processor (shows up as a dual processor - I think cuz it's got HyperThreading), 1 GB RAM.
Video, sound, and network are all on the motherboard. Video is "Intel Extreme Graphics 2" (XFree86 picks out the i810 drivers).
Video capture is the pcHDTV HD-3000.
At the moment, I'm using a 14 GB hard disk in order to evaluate this stuff.

If this works out well, I'd like to build a dedicated machine for MythTV, with a decent size hard drive.

Search the forum, it's an old known error, something about trying to calculate your drive size but not finding it where it expected to. You _do_ have a PATA drive hooked up as the primary master right?

By PATA I presume you mean a plain old (parallel - not serial) IDE type drive? Yes. It's an old-ish conventional IDE drive (old enough to be only 14 GB).

I want to show just how easy it is to use the search part of the forum.

I put in "error token" (excluding quotes) and used the option search for all terms. I think the 3rd topic on this list deals with your exact problem and because your too stupid to look yourself here is the link:

It makes me angry and I am not the only one. We (as in all decent users of this forum) can not stress enough to search first before posting.

I am pleading with you, use the search function it only takes a minute or two.

If it's a PATA (paralell ATA) or old ide drive as you say then it should work if you get it plugged into the right place It has to be the primary master.

My bad. Drive jumpers were set wrong. I'll go crawl back under my rock...

Thanks for the reminders.
