[mythtv-users] 2.6.8.1 issues with mythtv?

Well - I "think" the kernel config is the same.  I normally grab the last .config file (so in this case - the one from 2.6.7) and load it into "make menuconfig".  From there I save the config (so this adds the 2.6.8.1 specific stuff).

Then I do a typical make/install/etc/etc.

So - I guess it's possible there are some specific 2.6.8.1 (new attributes) which could cause a problem.
