[mythtv-users] kernel 2.6

I am having problems with the 2.4.20-20.9smp kernel because it 
apparently doesn't have good support for DMA with my Serial-ATA drives. 
I was thinking of moving to either the 2.6.0-test11 or 2.4.23 kernel to 
get DMA working.

I'll try them both and report back with my experiences, especially in 
2.6-land.

My hardware setup:
	AMD 2800+
	512 MB DDR 433 RAM
	160 Gig Seagate Barracuda ST3160023AS
	old circa-1998 Happauge WinTV card (works fine!)
	ATi Radeon 9200 w/TV-out
	ATi Remote Wonder (from my 9800 AiW on another PC) -- also works fine!
