I was just about to post regarding this kernel. I'm using the non smp of this
kernel and I can get sound and video to work on my PVR-250 but when I
change channels, the sound disappears until I get out of the frontend and
then back in again. I've tried everything, nothing works. Any suggestions?
I'm using a Pundit-R with the latest ati-fglrx drivers and kernel-module and
had all kind of GDM and X problems. This looks to be a known problem but
I seemed to have fixed it by using the i586 kmdl instead of the i686.
