Finally

It seems the problem with the kernel was the RAM disk after all. The error certainly did not make it clear that the RAM disk had failed, which is irritating. So, as promised, here is a, hopefully, complete list of kernel features I added, most unneccessary to MythTV:
  • IDE Chipset support for Intel PIIxn, Promise PDC20268. Lots of "Generic" support needed to get the kernel to actually boot.
  • IEEE-1394, Raw, DV, and OHCI support
  • I2C Support for Intel 82801EB/ER
  • ATI Radeon 9700 Pro Driver (needed I2C support)
  • Filesystem: EXT2, EXT3, REISERFS
  • USB Support: Mass Storage, ATI RF Remote
  • Ethernet: Realtek 8139
  • Video for Linux Support
  • DVB Support
I wasn't able to find a suitable driver for the HD-3000 (which reports as a Conexant Winfast TV2000 XP and Conexant Unknown Device 8802). However mythTV is supposed to have them available. Next, I'll have the steps I took to install MythTV from the debian sources. It's looking to be another big pain in the ass, mainly because of MySQL.
