10 I myself am a little miffed that all gentoo-sources between 2.6.33 and
11 2.6.37 inclusive were removed from the tree. My MythTV box was running
12 2.6.35 because it was the highest kernel I could use without having to
13 move to lirc-0.9.0 (which I have been unable to make work correctly in
14 multiple attempts.) I had a complete disk failure (LVM won't even
15 succeed in doing "vgchange -ay") and had to rebuild the system, now
16 I'm stuck back at 2.6.32 :(
17
18 I suppose it's time to again see if I can figure out the magic to get
19 lirc-0.9.0 to work.
