I got MythTV working well, just need some fine tuning of the rest of the
system now. Hopefully, this will be my last question for a while.
I've turned on 32 Bit Access (wow, what a difference) and DMA using
hdparm. It really helps. I have a 80GB WD Special Edition 7200RPM 8MB
cache drive. My video goes from jerky to smooth.
Question, and I think this will help a lot of people: How do I get
32bit access and DMA set at boot?
I was guessing by changing /etc/fstab, but after reading
http://linux.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2000/06/29/hdparm.html (a good
read,thanks to the person who suggested it here) it indicates that I
need to add a script to my /etc/rc.d/*.
Could someone please explain how to do this.
Thanks,
