I had to disconnect the second HD to get the install to go. I initially had the drives setup for cable select. KM installed, but then it would not boot to finish the second part of the installation. I just got a single line cursor, no LILO.

I then changed to manually setting the Master/Slave with the same results. Then I disconnected the second HD and the install worked perfectly.

I added a Promise TX2 IDE Raid controller and put the 300GB on it's own channel to avoid issues in the future even though the drive worked fine after the initial installation issues. I have no current plans to use Raid, it is just a card I had handy.

After I got a working system:
I shutdown the backend.
Unmounted /myth
Created /data on the root
Edited my fstab to change /myth to /data
Mounted /data
Partitioned and formated the 300GB drive with JFS
Mounted the partition as /myth
Copied the /myth directory over to it (with cp -a music tv ... /myth)
After all this, I just rebooted rather than tryed to restart the backend and things worked perfectly.

I now use the original /myth as /data for my samba share.

The only file editiing was to tweak the overscan a bit.

I didn't use cp -a with my first attempt to copy the contents from /data to /myth and it hosed the permissions. It's been a while since I messed with Linux. lol

One last thing... make sure you do the test on the CD-R before you start. I wasted 4 hours because I had a bad burn. I reburned it at 12x and all was well.
