What kernel are you currently running, what kernel are you trying to
upgrade to, and what problem does it have?

Also - are you trying to use the TV out on the 350? If not, your
problem gets a lot less difficult, as you don't need to deal with
framebuffer junk

What requirements are there on mythmusic that you aren't meeting? I
imagine they are just slight issues with use flags, and maybe the
faad2 issue of the missing header file. Other than that, I think I
have 0.18-r2 working with no hitches on gentoo (not 64 bit, though)
