Yesterday I upgraded my FC3 install via ATRPMS. Afterward, I can no longer 
watch livetv. I only get the EPG, then a black screen. Syslog shows a kernel 
oops related to mythfrontend.

Some system details
kernel 2.6.11-1.14FC3SMP  and 2.6.11-1.27FC3SMP
mythtv-0.18.1-111.rhfc3.at
ivtv versions 0.3.5g, 0.3.5i, and 0.3.5k (built by hand)
