This problem is solved. My initial problem was apparently identical to another that was posted after mine: Knoppmyth wont run after installation
. The fix to this problem also fixed my problem. Now I just have to work out some hardware issues...

| Post subject: | MythTV does not start after install |
I have a AMD 3800+ system with 320Gb SATA harddrive and a ATI TV Wonder 650 Card. I installed KnoppMyth R5E50 using first Manual then Auto Install. Both ways seem to partion and install s/w OK. But when I reboot, I first get the message: KnoppMyth found no multimedia video cards and then finally starts spitting out the message every five minutes: INIT: Id "c7" respawning too fast; disabled for 5 minutes I tracked this to the /etc/inittab file and discovered that this is the command that starts KnoppMyth: c7: 2345: respawn /usr/bin/openvt -fwc 6 -- /bin/su - myth -c /usr/bin/startx >& /dev/null Is this occurring because I have an unrecognized TV card? I assumed that I would at least get a window to open even without a recognized TV card... |

The respawn problem is because it's having a problem with the X server setup (windowing system). Search for a posting by Dale (aka rdt) on how to disable it so you can fix the configuration, the keyword to search for is "telinit". |

OK, I found several topics that say that I should use telinit 1 to drop to single user mode and stop X entirely. I've done this and I no longer get the respawning attempts. Now, how do I go about fixing the configuration? |

Should be linked from the same posts. Failing that see the BlackScreenAfterInstall page on the wiki. |
