I am sure that I saw something about this yesterday. Trying to find it now.

I have just installed Ext2Fsd and once I've read up on what I need to do I'll maybe use that if it means that I don't have to install and get familiar with Ubuntu.
This is a really steep learning curve for me. I have been constantly searching, reading and re-reading posts in most of my spare time for the last 2 weeks. Still, what good is a hobby if it does not stay interesting and challenging! I really appreciate the help that everyone here has given me so far.
Thanks

If you do a goggle search using the words 'AZBox Elite IDE recording', there is an excellent article on how to add IDE drives to an Elite.
It replaces the DOM with one drive and sets up a second drive as a PVR device.
Hi Smudger,
yes I have read the thread but I haven't found a working solution. The problem is as described... no smargo or phoenix drivers found.
I also do not know where the kernel-log is??? Neigher /var/log nor /tmp or dmesg contains usefull information - so I am blind :cool:
If anybody has a working solution I would appreciate a reference :respect-061:
Thanks in advance
Ralf
From DS 3.0 image relaese do***ent I found:
I don't know if this is usefull, because I have no usb readers, so the whole topic is not familiar to me.
- Added Kernel Modules Manager
+ USB Mouse/Joystick/Keyboard
+ SCSI Generic
+ WLAN
+ USB cardreader ( PL2303 and FTDI )
+ ISOFS
+ SMB/CIFS
+ CDFS
+ UDF
+ VFAT
+ NTFS
+ SMBFS
+ HFS
Now ,this thread is so quiet,i hope we will get new firmware in next few days.
It's here, so why link to another forum? :- https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?t=142195
It's best you delete that live link as the mods don't like links to other satellite forums.
would be a nice feature on the azbox-enigma.eu site to place percentage bar, so we can see how far they are with the new release. This will avoid many useless questions.
Hope to see this soon.
Sorry... haven't seen it.
I've just installed DS3. Looks good... but... same problem with Smargo as described above.
If I activate the FTDI-module in the kernel-module-manager nothing happens.
If have neighter a ftdi-driver (lsmod) nor a usb-device to connect. If I plug in the smargo nothing happens. I see also no kernel-logs...
It's a pitty because I look pay-tv only.
Any other ideas?
Plugin the smargo then check with "dmesg" if it is recognized.
And maybe
cat /proc/tty/driver/usbserial
should give something like
0: module:ftdi_sio name:"FTDI USB Serial Device" vendor:0403 product:6001 num_ports:1 port:1 .....
Then you have to load usbserial.ko with insmod and then the ftdi_driver.ko.
If this will not load you also missed usbcore. Or try to use modprobe if available.
Smargo is working with the original software so there is no reason to not work with E2.
dmesg shows me nothing if I plug in smargo!
/proc/tty/driver/usbserial does not exist!
usbserial.ko does not exist (have made a search with "find / -name usbserial* -print")
I suppose where is simply no driver in the kernel. Maybe I need to re-install the driver? But where do I get these kernel-modules?
Following suggestions from Smudger and Far451 I followed a guide to replacing the DOM with an IDE HDD.
I removed the DOM and attached one IDE HDD to my Premium and powered it from my PC. The original guide described how to replace the DOM and run the firmware from a master HDD and record onto a slave HDD but I only connected one HDD.
After booting I got the Upgrade screen and selected 4. Format application area. A message indicated that the formatting was completed.
ON rebooting I again got the Upgrade screen. When I selected 1. USB I have the same problem I had with the old DOM yesterday - it asks me to 'Please insert USB storage' even though a freshly formatted USB drive with the firmware patch.bin file is in the USB port. I have tried several USB drives - that have all worked previously in the box - and I have tried both ports. I have also tried 2 different HDD units.
From what I have described, is there anything obvious that I have not done or if you have any suggestions about what I could try next, please let me know.
Thanks
Stephen
@richy18: The last config from The_Ripper I have does not activate the USBSERIAL or FTDI_SIO driver. Maybe he can build a kernel with them enabled or the newer on are build with it. Maybe he tells us.
@SPF Could it be a corrupted patch.bin? Try a md5sum of the patch.bin. The patch.bin should not be in a subdirectory.
Does your USB stick have a data access LED that lights up when inserted?
@far451
I have tried several different patch.bin files for various firmware versions. I always ensure that the patch file is copied to a freshly formatted drive and is the only file on the drive. The LED on the drive does light when inserted into my PC but not with the AZBox Premium. This seems to be the same problem I mentioned in my posts last night where the USB ports (and the SATA drive) do not appear to be active. This suggests to me that the problem is not with the DOM or the HDD but I'm just learning about this so i am unsure if this could be the case.
This is baffling me just now, but I'll get there eventually!
Thanks for your help
Stephen
@richy18
I attached usbserial+ftdi kernel modules.
Try it pls.
Stephen, maybe you got the same problem of 4@@@@ with usb and sata?
But what differ in your case is that your serial connection is still working.
Here how he resolve that issue and maybe he can suggest you something about.
I would like to thank the whole team of the_ripper for the hard and great work. I believe in the capabilities of this box.
I have followed the whole development of Azbox E2 lately and can not wait to test a beta version. Please could you advise when we can expect a beta version. I know that we musst have patience.... We appreciate your hard work. We all are immensely proud of this team and this development.
many thanks for your support and elaborate work.:respect-062:
best regards

If You want, You can test last release 1.0.31, is already a beta release, there are some bugs, but it works very well.
The knew bus (for the truth but parts are not finished yet):
- the sound disappears (but if you change few times channels, well reappear)
- you can't play what you record
- subtitles (I can't find it)
- change audio language (I can't find it)
If You use DS Team 3.0 (based on the last The_Ripper kernel) you will find plugins and emu ready to use.
Happy testing!!!
@massimo
use "check" in your control remote for change audio lenguage
@Mangasora
I added PL2303 kernel module
@kelddamsbo
Yes it will work, all receivers use same Sigma kernel version.
Sorry if you are not experienced you should wait for next image, I will see with team members to put this kernel modules ...
@massimo1167
When we finished patching e2 we will announce svn server for Azbox.
@The_Ripper
For a person like me who don't know anything about programing can i test or waite for a stable version.
Thanks
