I did use Jarod's guide to setup my myth box, but this was done at the
beginning of June if that makes a difference.
I changed the boot to the following kernel:
Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2197.nptl_51.rhfc1.at
When I goot to this kernel, just about all of the drivers and such
that I configured with Jarod's quide will not load, as well as X
cannot be run. Do I need to go back through and build the Ethernet and
video drivers? This started after my initial attempt to update my ivtv
driver (at the very beginning of this poblem). Honestly, I could give
you ssh access if it would help :D I'm definately aching to get this
up and running again :D I miss my recordings. Let me know what the
next step is.
