OK, probably it would have been better to mention that in your first
post instead of just saying it was FC4.

Maybe the installed kernel is a different configuration, like SMP/UMP,
highmem, etc?  I don't know anything about Fedora, I left RedHat for

Probably the easiest way to fix this would be to ask the MythDora folks
to include the GO7007 driver with their kit; then you know the modules
will be compiled with the right kernel source.  -Nathan
