Looks like the i2c and lm_sensors patchsets are no longer being applied
to gentoo-sources:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45450
The end result being that the instruction in the wiki are invalid. You
might try this wiki instead:
http://wiki.gentoo-portage.com/HOWTO_Setup_MythTV
Those instructions suggest the love-sources kernel, which, while very
nice, is not in portage. If that concerns you, then try mm-sources
first, which *should* work with the instructions.
Regards,
Chris
