Hi guys. I've mis-typed a parameter in /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv, now my box won't boot, during the boot sequence I get a load of error messages about this mis-typed paremeter being unknown, but nothing else, the boot sequence won't continue, so I can't correct the problem. I can't SSH in either as I don't think the boot sequence has got far enough to enable it. Any ideas? Thanks.

you can either boot from the cd mount the drive and change it. (the procedure is detailed somewhere on the forums)

or you could try hitting the shift key as soon as you see lilo and typing in linux single to boot into single user mode (may or may not work depending on where the problem is located) and then edit the file.

Thanks Xsecrets, the 'linux single' option did the trick.
