-==== TBS 6280 PCIe DVB-T2 ====
-A PCIe card for recording DVB-T2 TV. Linux driver support from the manufacturer, which means that you have to recompile it on kernel update. Official linux drivers can be downloaded at http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/ and open source at https://github.com/ljalves/linux_media/wiki/Installating. Visit https://www.tbsdtv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=25422 and http://www.tbsdtv.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=49 for a forum.
-You will need to disable secure boot in bios for uefi boot to load 3rd party drivers. Maybe solved by selecting "Other OS" instead of "Windows" in the boot options.
-Roughly following https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TBS_driver_installation#Installing_drivers I did like this as root top build and install official drivers (old):
-  dnf install kernel-headers kernel-devel
-  mkdir tbs
-  cd tbs
-  wget http://www.tbsiptv.com/download/common/tbs-linux-drivers_v170330.zip
-  unzip tbs-linux-drivers_v170330.zip
-  tar xvjf linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2
-  cd linux-tbs-drivers/
-  ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh # For 64bit and ./v4l/tbs-x86_r3.sh for 32bit, see docs for other kernels.
-  make -j6
-  mv /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/ ~/media_$(uname -r) # Will fix some issues like symbol mismatches and in my case a driver crash in dmesg registering SAA716x dvb adapter.
-  make install
-  reboot
-  dmesg | grep DVB
-The cards should be possible to configure in mythtvsetup now. After kernel upgrades you will need to remove the "linux-tbs-drivers" folder and unpack again, make clean does not seem to work.
-Nowadays it seems like like using the open source drivers at https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/wiki is the model to keep up with kernel changes:
-  dnf install perl-Proc-ProcessTable patchutils
-  mkdir tbs && cd tbs
-  git clone https://github.com/tbsdtv/media_build.git
-  git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media.git -b latest ./media
-  cd media_build
-  make dir DIR=../media
-  make distclean
-  make -j6
-  mv /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/ ~/media_$(uname -r) # Maybe still needed to fix install mismatch issues?
-  make install
-  reboot
-Install firmware:
-  wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/linux/tbs-tuner-firmwares_v1.0.tar.bz2
-  tar jxvf tbs-tuner-firmwares_v1.0.tar.bz2 -C /lib/firmware/
-Update using: (Does not work anymore since kernel 5.7.15)
-  cd tbs/media
-  git remote update && git pull
-  git clean -ffdx
-  cd ../media_build
-  git remote update && git pull
-  git clean -ffdx
-  make dir DIR=../media
-  make distclean
-  echo -e "#define NEED_FWNODE_GETNAME 1" > ./v4l/config-mycompat.h # Fix undefined fwnode_get_name on kernel 5.6 fedora 30
-  sed -i '/VIDEO_OV9650/d' ./v4l/versions.txt && sed -i '/9.255.255/a VIDEO_OV9650' ./v4l/versions.txt # Fix undefined __devm_regmap_init_sccb on kernel 5.6/5.7 fedora 30/31 by skipping OV9650 build
-  make -j6 # I actually tried compiling without disabling OV9650, then I had to run "make distclean" and "make -j6" again to make it work. Needed?
-  sudo mv /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/ ~/media_$(uname -r) # Still needed to fix install mismatch issues!?
-  sudo make install
-  sudo reboot
-I've really had issues with kernel 5.7, in the forum they suggest to download precompiled files instead which does not work either. Failed the same way as the compilation for 5.7.15 did. Therefor I eventually decided to try:

 Then I deleted the cards and sources and recreated them because EIT data did not get updated. Still had issues with low SVT1/2/B/K but I think this was because EIT for these overwrote the ones in use. Only enable EIT for channels in use. See MythTV EIT Issues below.
+==== Moving boot disk from sata to m.2 ====
+Updating boot drive from sata to m.2 turned out to be a real hassle on my MSI Tomahawk Max B450. Just putting the m.2 drive in and it stopped booting from the old sata boot drive. It turns out that m.2 disables sata ports 5 and 6. After rearranging cables and adding default,nofail to data drives it boots again. Also, if I want to use my future graphics card for LLM:s I need to boot with UEFI for ReBar but without secure boot for nvidia drivers to load.
+Then I need to boot from a live usb stick (press Fn+F11 during boot and do not use the topmost slow usb ports) and then use dd to clone:
+  # dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=64K status=progress conv=fsync
+Then it still hangs on boot when systemd is trying to mount my vfat /boot partition with uuid F71B-C42F. Apparently this is for lacking drivers in the boot image. Had to remove the m.2 disk and boot fedora 43 again to prepare with support for nvme on on sata disk:
+  # echo 'hostonly="no"' | tee /etc/dracut.conf.d/generic.conf
+  # dracut --regenerate-all --force
+Ran out of disk space in /boot here. The fun never ends.
+Removed a kernel and tried this instead:
+  # echo -e 'add_drivers+=" nvme ahci libata sd_mod "' | tee /etc/dracut.conf.d/generic.conf
+  # dracut --force
+Then clone again. Remove sata and boot from nvme to check that it works. This time it did. Then boot livecd again, install gparted and use this to expand /boot and move and expand / putting the swap at the end as well. Reboot
+Also took the time to get new rescue images as my old ones were from 2016, remove old vmlinuz/initramfs for rescue first:
+  # /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/51-dracut-rescue.install add "$(uname -r)" /boot "/boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r)"

 Seems ok. Had to do this later for "events" as well. Do not forget to remove the recovery setting and restart mariadb so that home assistant can connect. Moved away from remote mariadb hass database to the default sqlite implementation with a database on an ssd. Set up a nightly backup through an automation to to avoid all these issues. Seems quicker as well.

 You may need the "--allowerasing" flag or possibly force uninstall of some packages using "rpm -e --nodeps <package>" to get this to pass.
 Then reboot this way to do the actual upgrade:

  You may need to upgrade the squeezeboxserver rpm. Maybe update java version used for minecraft. See those chapters. (Old, running nouveau with modern gfx-card nowadays: You may need to uninstall and install nvidia drivers again, at least uninstall the newly created kmod-nvidia and rebuild it using akmods.)
