[ATrpms-users] MythTV is on helium - F7 + bleeding MythTV RPMS (solved)

[Void Main]

Yep, that seems to have fixed my problem. Here is what
I did:

# rpm -e video4linux-kmdl-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7
# rpm -ivh
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/7/Everything/source/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.src.rpm
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
# rpmbuild -bp --target=i686

etc, etc according to this (stopping after doing the
depmod):

I then rebooted and all is well. Now if I can just
figure out how to fix MythWeather. :)
