[mythtv] kernel oops with radeon and mythfrontend

agp might not be enabled in the BIOS or otherwise working properly in
your system. On my Shuttle, agpgart was loading fine but the
underlying agp chipset module wasn't and I needed to manually load
ati_agp to support it. After that, all was well with the radeon
driver.

I added the following to /etc/modprobe.conf. YMMV depending on your AGP chipset.

install agpgart \
  /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install agpgart && \
  /sbin/modprobe ati_agp || :

Regards,
Wilf.
