Thanks.  I modified the entry I created on the barebones page ( 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Bare_Bones_System ) to point to 
your page seeing as how I never got around to creating the page myself.

I was looking into this as well until my machine died.  Hopefully, I 
will be receiving my replacement soon.  Once I receive it I will try 
with kernel 2.6.22 which will probably be released by the time I receive 
my replacement and if the problem still exists, I should be able to 
track it down.
