I deleted the subdirectory tftpboot/42 and the file 01-90-fb-a6-86-0f-b6 in pxelinux.cfg.

The file 01-90-fb-a6-86-0f-b6 had the following:

DEFAULT Pluto
LABEL Pluto
KERNEL 42/vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=42/initrd.img ramdisk=10240 rw root=/dev/nfs boot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.80.1:/usr/pluto/diskless/42 quiet splash video=uvesafb:mode_option=1024x768-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap

I rebooted the MD, and it has announced itself to the router and running setup.

thx

I didn't restore the DB after the new install, just started fresh.

My steps (in case this helps).

1) Reran the 8.10 install from the DVD - which formatted the hard drive.
2) Ran the diskless_create script.
3) Booted the MD and got the above error.

The MD was device 42 on the previous core install. 

The only MD listed in the web admin is the core.

The directory "diskless" doesn't exist on the core.

As you mention, the media director is trying to find the image from the previous core image.

Here's the directory listing from the core:

I reinstalled the core to 8.10.
Ran diskless_createtbz.sh
When I boot from the diskless media director, get the following error:

Could not find kernel image: 42/vmlinuz

This was the device number it had with the previous install.

The media director does not appear to be going out and registering as a new device to the core.

Thanks

Richard:

I did try to chroot XX for the media director.
when I ran alsamixer - gave this error:
"alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"

running the command on the core works fine.  should this also work on the diskless (PXE Boot) media director?

KDE Desktop -> Sound Mixer did the trick.

Thanks so much,

Users / Diskless Media Director Low Volume - SOLVED
« on: January 21, 2011, 05:00:04 am »
The analog output from my diskless media director is connected to the stereo input of the tv.
The TV volume is set to maximum in order to barely hear the video sound.

During AV Setup, I turned the volume setting to 100.  (I'm not sure where to verify this setting on the media director.)

As alsamixer works great for the core, it doesn't appear to work for the diskless media director.
"alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"

Thx

After updating/upgrading my core...

MythTv recorded programs are now stored by their file name (1012_201101200830) instead of by program name.

UserProgram1 still lists :/usr/pluto/bin/SaveMythRecording.sh %CHANID% %STARTTIME% "%DIR%

Not sure what has died/changed.

Thanks
