As posted i started compiling after assembling the backend.
i did not remember it correctly, it actually is a P4 2.8 ghz which is now working in the backend.
so let’s get to the point, since i now got two older Hard Drives i thought i should do a Raid Array with Raid Level 0.
So just did it and started building the Kernel.
Everything worked fine, Raid Performance measured with hdparm:
Code:
/dev/md1: |
|
Timing cached reads: 1888 MB in 2.00 seconds = 944.21 MB/sec |
|
Timing buffered disk reads: 218 MB in 3.00 seconds = 72.58 MB/sec |
I think that’s not bad for some old dusty Harddisks.
Crawling through the Kernel Options for Multimedia Functions was a bit painful since there are lots and lots of different settings.
Mainly i enabled some Phillips Drivers, bt848, PVR, ivtv.
Seemed to work fine.
Rebooted into the system, added some USE-Flags:
Code:
USE="-X -ipv6 -alsa -xscreensaver apache2 mysql pam php curl curlwrappers cgi gd jpeg png gif \ |
|
xml cdr dvd lm_sensors quotas syslog fam suexec bash-completion sqlite pdo simplexml sockets posix" |
package.use:
Code:

I read some bad things about that “backendonly” Use Flag of mythtv, but I’ll give it a shot.
mplayer and ffmpeg are there for some transcoding, i don’t know if i will actually need it.
started upgrading it and building mythtv…
what a hell of a job.
some of the ebuilds are already broken.
the pvr_firmware driver for example, they changed the url for some archive, so you have to manually download the archive and remerge it again. (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=230129)
The current Status:
I’m currently recompiling the Kernel since the building suddenly stopped with this Error:
Code:
* CONFIG_VIDEO_HELPER_CHIPS_AUTO: should not be set. But it is. |
So i disabled this option, recompiled and remerged.
