Knoppmyth runs fine on 64 bit processors. Please note that Knoppmyth is presently 32-bit as there are some issues with running MythTV in true 64 bit but any 64 bit processor will have no problem running 32 bit code. I hope this makes sense. Martian |

so what should i do about the machine locking up, is the something that i change in the bios or does the processor do it automaticlly and which version did u install from maybe i could install that version too. |

I'm thinking your SCSI drive needs to be configured like a SATA drive. I just seem to recall reading this somewhere, I don't know for sure since I used the PATA drives right now. You might check the KnoppMyth wiki, there may be something there, or search the forums, I'm sure the issue has come up before. |

You should be able to hit like F2 or F3 (can't remember which one) at the boot prompt and it will give you a bunch of options you can pass to the kernel before it loads. I think one of them is something like "no-scsi". You can try out some of the different options and see if that gets you anywhere. If you have a SATA disk though you might have issues if you disable SCSI as I think SATA used some of the generic SCSI modules. Good luck! Martian |
