I have been trying to get my Plextor TV402U working with KnoppMyth R5A26.
I have had the same problem with R5A16 so I am not sure how much the release has to do with this. Anyways, I can not get the gadget to work in any consistant manner. If I do get it to work, it refuses to work after a reboot. By work I mean live TV and record. Live TV seems to work more often but I have gotten record to work only once. The following log excerpts are typical. This happen to be a reboot and starting a recording right away. There are some errors in the logs but I do not understand what they mean or if they are even relevant.

I am running KnoppMyth on a Soyo SY-P4I845PE with 1 GB memory, a P4 3.06GHz 533 FSB. It is a hyperthreading cpu with the hyperthreading turned off per the Plextor instructions. I have a PVR-350 that works just fine. It is /dev/video0 while the Plextor is /dev/video1. Both are using the composite inputs from a set top box each. I am using a nVidia FX-5200 video card with the drivers installed by R5A26.
I have deleted and reinstalled my Plextor once already in Setup.
If I have left anything out, I apologize but my mind is really tired after fooling with this for hours. For all the googling I did, it did not seem to yield much. Help is appreciated.
Other than this R5A26 is a really nice release. If I did not have this Plextor, it would have been a breeze.
