Been away from knoppmyth for quite a while. I happend back here yesterday and found the R5B1 release. I tried installing it today with the following problems.
If I boot from the cd using anything but failsafe, it hangs at setting default volumes. I went through the manual install due to sata drives. Everything went fine until alsconfig ran. It dumped errors to the screen and hung. I rebooted the box and configured my pvr-150. When selecting watch tv, it would complain about /dev/dsp not existing. I ran alsaconf but it would hang shutting down alsa, so I killed the stop alsa process. alsaconf continued and created /dev/dsp. Now I get a picture but no sound.
Obviously I have alsa problems. One other mention, I also have a Dvico Fusion card installed. I don't think this is related. This hardware config worked more or less under R5B7 a while back.
Here is the error I get when I run /etc/init.d/alsa stop.
Code: root@mythtv:/var/log# /etc/init.d/alsa stop
Shutting down sound driver:

I have very similar problem with IDE hardware. With R5C7 there was no problems with this hw.

This problem goes away if I disable the sound card in the motherboard config. I verified that R5C7 installs properly without error on this system with the sound card enabled.

I have to correct myself: Hauppauge HVR-1100 needs kernel 2.6.17 to work. So system does not recognize HVR cards when installing R5C7. I have'nt got this card to work properly in any linux systems.
When installing R5D1, system finds two soundcards and this mess up ALSA (I think). If I disable motherboards soundcard, R5D1 installs properly, but I cant get sound working. I might just forget HVR-1100 and use other tunercards.
Without HVR R5D1 installs with no problems.

After installing, have you re-enabled the card in the BIOS and ran /etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig?

OK, thats next thing on my todo list. Thanks.
I'll tell results (or ask more questions) as soon as I find time to try that.

OK, this is what happens;
Code: ...
#/etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig
Building card database...
Configuring intel8x0...
Running update modules...
Creating snddevices...
Setting default volumes...
It stops there. And I don't have sound.

This is the same behaviour I was experiencing. From another window, ctrl-alt-F2, check your error logs under /var/log for errors simmilar to the one I reported. I am suspecting a problem with alsa.

I think there is growing consensus that there are some alsa issues in R5D1 with the program hanging in "Setting default volumes".
There is another thread discussing this same issue (without resolution yet) at http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... ight=sound
How do we disable the alsa configuration script in the auto install for R5D1? We may have to install an older more stable version of alsa for R5D1 to work. I will try that this evening

Quote: Any success with that?
I have been struggling with this for a few days now and this is a summary
I had a working R5C7 but got excited with the some of the upgrades in the new releases (R5D1) so I tried to install R5D1
The installation hangs at "Setting default volumes..."
I forced an "expert" install with R5D1 and downgraded to alsa version 1.0.11 and it did not work - had the same problem.
I reinstalled R5C7 and upgraded alsa to version 1.0.11 and it worked fine.
I am confused now -
Is this a problem with the kernel change to 2.6.17 in R5D1?
Is this a problem with hardward conflict between AC97 and some of the tv cards?
Any more ideas or tricks?

Everything works fine without Hauppauge HVR-1100 card in R5D1. So I blame tuner cards... I hope someone finds solution for this. I'm way too noob to do anything but complain

It is a DVB related issue. (Or it was in my case)
I had R5C7 stable forever with my PVR-150. I recently got an ATI HDTV Wonder from a friend, and decided to install that and R5D1.
The install either hung or spit out similar error messages at the sound volume step. I tried installing 3 or 4 different times with the same result.
As soon as I took the ATI HDTV card out the install worked flawlessly. I have yet to put the card back in, but I will post an update after I update some settings and get the box correct.
