I've been meaning to post this for a few weeks...

I'm proud to report that the following Master Backend setup "just works" out-of-the-box with R5E50. Thanks very much Cecil, Dale and the KM team! :D

    KM R5E50
    SuperMicro P4SCE
    P4 2.8GHz (S478)
    Corsair VS1GBKIT400 (2 x 512 MB DDR400)
    2 x Seagate ST3500630AS (500GB SATA) (System ext3 partition & /myth formatted as LVM with JFS)
    4 x Seagate ST3300631A (300GB PATA) w/LSI Logic i4 MegaRAID (RAID 5) (MythTV/General Purpose Backup) (JFS)
    LiteOn LH-18A1P-186 DVD-RW
    1 x PVR-150 Model 1045
    1 x pcHDTV HD-3000
    2 x Air2PC Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02) (ATSC)
    Ultra Wizard Midtower (free after rebate @ Fry's)
    Ultra V Series 500W ATX Power Supply (again, free after rebate @ Fry's)
    Nexus Real Silent Case Fan D12SL-12
    An 80mm quiet intake fan that I can't recall the name of...


I bought the Mobo/CPU combo off eBay for ~$120 delivered. A great find, IMO.

Since this is a Master Backend, I edited the
Code:
/usr/local/bin/KnoppMyth-run
script to prevent the frontend from starting. Beginning at line 16, I changed it to this:
Code:
Start() {
  CMD1='export DISPLAY=:0.0 ;'
  #CMD2='exec mythfrontend'
  [ "$USER" = "$USERNAME" ] && eval $CMD1 #$CMD2
  exec   su -  $USERNAME -c sh -c  "$CMD1" #$CMD2"
}


I also installed JFS Utils because I have my /myth partition formatted as JFS. It was recognized, but KM had no utility to check it.
Code:
# cd /
# apt-get update
# apt-get install jfsutils
