[mythtv-users] OT: Keyboard quits responding at run level 5.

[Nowhere]

Thanks Jarod and Rick! This looks strange to me:

> rpm -qa |grep lirc
lirc-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl_37.rhfc1.at-0.7.0-20_cvs20040208.rhfc1.at
kernel-module-lirc-2.4.22-1.2197.nptl_51.rhfc1.at-0.7.0-31_pre4.rhfc1.at
lirc-0.7.0-31_pre4.rhfc1.at
lirc-lib-devel-0.7.0-31_pre4.rhfc1.at
lirc-lib-0.7.0-31_pre4.rhfc1.at

I have both 2174 and 2197 Kernel versions of lirc showing up. I need to
rpm -e the old one yes?
