In the kernel config this shows up as Via C3 processor... |

I guess you are right. for i686 system I have |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O2 -pipe" |
| 42 |
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" |
| 43 |

If I recall correctly now , //proc/cpuinfo shows this as a Pentium4 with |
| 46 |
flags showing sse sse2 . |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Even the gentoo i686 livecd does not boot on the mythtv system. Just |
| 49 |
after uncompressing the kernel, system reboots. |

I think I will have to use a rescue CD of some sort. |
