I intend to rebuild my RH9 system (had to swap out the OS drive) and use
the kernels, etc. from http://atrpms.physik.fu-berlin.de/dist/rh9/kernel/.
If I had read far enough into the docs for mythtv before I got started
it would have saved me a ton of time. By the time I tried to use stuff
from there I had apt4rpm already set up and for some reason it wouldn't
connect to him. I'm going to get it right this time though. Axel Thimm
was very helpful when I tried to fix my problem.

Hi,
First try to work in default bttv driver bttv-0.9.91 or bttv-0.9.96
I suppose (kernel 2.4.20-8). load tuner and bttv driver module.
The default bttv driver in Red Hat Linux 9 is a 0.7.x series. On my
fully up2date'd system, the version is 0.7.104. Definitely NOT 0.9.x
though, because that is a v4l2-only driver, and the stock Red Hat
kernels are not patched for v4l2.
If u want to upgrade default bttv driver to bttv-0.9.11. Then
1) download vanilla kernel from www.kernel.org (2.4.20)
Or, download a kernel from
http://atrpms.physik.fu-berlin.de/dist/rh9/kernel/ that is essentially a
stock Red Hat kernel with a few little patches added in, most notably v4l2.
2) apply the following patch
"http://bytesex.org/patches/2.4.20/patch-2.4.20-kraxel.gz"; to the
kernel source.
Again, not needed if you use an ATrpms pre-patched kernel.
