After running the automatic install step and rebooting, my system hangs at the following messages:

Remove the 350. What happens when you boot?

| I took out the 350 card and I am now in the configuration screen. Do I just go through the configuration and when finished, shutdown, add the card back in and reboot? |

Place the 350 back. If you get the same error then my guess is it is because of ivtv and the Via chipset. Some Via chipsets are problematic w/ ivtv. You can try updating ivtv and see it that helps, if not I have nothing else I can think of at the moment. Follow the directions on updating ivtv that I've posted.

ARRRRGGG... I hate VIA... Looks like I will have to try to update ivtv. Im still a newbie to Linux - it seems like it can never be easy:) Thanks, ill let you know how it goes.
Can you post a link to your instructions for updating ivtv. I cant seem to find them.

Doh!!! Cant find you instructions on updating ivtv. Could you post a link to it.
To update ivtv would I just do:
#apt-get update
#apt-get install ivtv |

WOHOO!!! Looks like updating the ivtv drivers for the via situation worked. I was able to boot with the PVR 350 card installed. Thank you.
Can you tell me if what I did below was correct?
1) Booted up with the knoppmyth cd and exited to the console prompt.
2) Used lynx to download the driver to /:
lynx http://www.kernel.org/pb/linux/kernel/people/axboe/ivtv/ivtv-031125A-0.12.tar.gz
2) mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
3) cd /mnt/hda1/usr/local/lib
4) tar xvf /ivtv-031125A-0.12.tar.gz
5) This is were I hope I did not screw up. I did not think to chroot /mnt/hda1:
cd ivtv/driver
make
make install
6) Now I did a chroot /mnt/hda1
7) cd /usr/local/lib/ivtv/utils
make
reboot
Did I screw anything up by not doing chroot before I did the make and make install in the ivtv/driver directory? |

If it works great! But I don't see why you did it that way and not how the instructions stated. I suppose the way you did it was ok, but you should have chrooted after mount.

Darn. I did not notice that I could open an xterm using the mouse when I boot into the blank desktop.
I now seem to be having the same problem as the person in the following link: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=388&highlight=access+denied+user
After I boot, for a couple seconds I see a little window with Static (Im guessing this is supposed to be the screen that will display the video) and then it disappears and I am left with a blank desktop with Mythtv and Xterm as choices in the menu. I checked the mysql.log and I saw the Access denied for user: 'mythtv@localhost' (Using password: NO).
I ran the following commands to correct the issue and they ran with no problem:
dpkg -r mythtv-i586-lirc-xvmc
install-i586-l
When I restart the system I still get the blank screen  . Should I look in any specific log? |

I looked at the mythtvbackend.log and still see the Access denied for user : 'mythtv@localhost' (Using password: NO).
Here is the log:

Qsettings::sync: filename is null/empty
Unable to read configuration file mysql.txt
Qsettings: error creating /.qt
Qsettings::sync: filename is null/empty
Qsettings: error creating /.qt
Qsettings::sync: filename is null/empty
Qsettings: error creating /.qt
Qsettings::sync: filename is null/empty
Unable to connect to database!
Driver error was [1/-1]:
QMYSQL3: Unable to connect
Database error was:
Access denied for user: 'mythtv@localhost' (Using password: NO)
couldn't open db |

Take a look at /user/share/mythtv/mysql.txt
The password shoudl be:q2dUSRDq
If it isn't make it so and restart the backend(/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart).

Strange the file /usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt is not there. Do I just create the file with just that password in it?
I found the file in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt with the password you specified. Do I copy this one over to /usr/share/mythtv or does the missing file mean that I did not install something correctly? |

You can use vi, the file should look like this:
| Code: |
DBHostName=localhost
DBUserName=mythtv
DBName=mythconverg
# Set the following if you want to use something other than the
# machine's real hostname for identifying settings in the database.
# This is useful if your hostname changes often, as otherwise
# you'll need to reconfigure mythtv (or futz with the DB) every time.
# TWO HOSTS MUST NOT USE THE SAME VALUE
#
#LocalHostName=my-unique-identifier-goes-here
DBPassword=q2dUSRDq |
You can ignore the comments if you want...
