Hi,

(bye the way: i'am very very happy with MythTV .... )

I want to run a silent Frontend but the CDROM of the notebook is not recognized in the booting-phase.

I tried a usual knoppix boot-floppy but it does not work because of wrong filenames (?).

Has someone an image to boot? Or any other clue?

Thx so far!

Michael

does the laptop have pxe booting? if so you can setup terminal service on the backend and network boot.

Thx for fast replay. Unfortunately it is an external (PCMCIA) eth0 card ... :/
But nonetheless great to hear that the backend has this feature

Check out the logs if you can and see what device it thinks is the cdrom or even if it detects it there..., normally it should be /dev/hdc (most of the time, but not always)...

... unfortunately i'am not even able to get anything running that *logs*. The BIOS will not take any bootable CDROM, so I want the workaround with the Floppy-Disk :/ ...

there is not workaround with a floppy. Not that it can't be done, but noone that I know of has done it, as none of the developers have that I know of installed on a machine that couldn't boot from cdrom or network.

What kind of laptop (make/model)?

Is there a bios option to change the boot-order to have it look to the cd-rom first?
