Amaya, I didn't install directly using your guys' ISO, but I debootstrap'ed off your mirrors and installed linux-image-2.6.18-3-686 (version 2.6.18-7) for my netboot. (Can I say painless installation even for NFS root :)) I installed lirc 0.8.0-9 and built both the mceusb2 and serial modules to test with.
MCEUSB2 transmitting support isn't in your guys' build as its a CVS only thing, so couldn't verify that. Serial support has the exact same problem. I viewed using my digital camera to make sure it was really sending pulses, and indeed it was - just not valid data. 0% success rate this time around (earlier in the thread I had some limited success). I'll keep this etch testing install around to help kill this bug :) Mario On 12/25/06, Mario Limonciello <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Amaya, Ah sorry for the confusion. I have to netboot/nfs root this machine in order to get it up and running (no hard drive in it), so getting an etch install will just take a little time for me to get setup, but I would be glad to. For the ubuntu specific information, we are using your guys' 0.8.0-5 with a minor patch related to dropping libsvga. We are on a 2.6.17 kernel. I'll provide etch specific information soon. Thanks!
