:-p No problem.

I was successful in patching Red Hat's 2.6.7-1.441 kernel out of their 
development branch, built a kernel rpm and everything. The machine is booting 
off it, the modified bttv kernel module loads and recognizes the card just 
fine. However, the pcHDTV-provided 2.6.6 tools all like to segfault (which 
I've read is rather common, unfortunately). Tonight, I'll try playing with 
xine-hd and MythTV with the card...
