Gentoo Update!
So far so good. I now have my older Sony Desktop running Gentoo 2004.3 I basically followed the Gentoo Installation Handbook. I also threw in a second 80GB hard drive. The primary drive is a 40GB drive for the OS
The 80GB drive is for storing my MythTV recordings. I was able to install ivtv for my Hauppauge PVR 350. I actually emerged the ivtv driver from Gentoo. Of course, I had to recompile the kernel several times but ultimately I got everything to work. There are some helpful sites for the install, here is one. My kernel compile required similar changes to the aforementioned documentation…fyi, for me, I was only able to get the intel8×0 sound card working as a kernel module. I was able to emerge MythTV without much difficulty. It just took a while for the compiles to complete. I had some minor differences compared to the online directions but they were easy to figure out. That’s it
