Hi,
I am currently running a stable MythTV .18 install on FC2 kernel 2.6.9-1.11 I wanted to upgrade my nvidia drivers to the latest 7174 version.
Through synaptic, the only kernel it shows for nvidia drivers in FC2 is 2.6.10-1.770 (and 771).
I had similar problems trying to install nvidia-graphics6629 & nvidia-graphics7167. I couldn't find the older kernels with apt-get (kernel 2.6.9-1.11 & 2.6.8-1.521_11) .
I finally ran "apt-get update", then "apt-get install nvidia-graphics6629". apt-get resovled the dependencies & offered me the chance to download the 2.6.10-1.770_FC2 kernel & the driver & the kmdl,etc...
Wierd & not in Jarod's instructions, but it is working.
What are the benefits of nvidia-graphics7174? Oh, I see in google: "7174 mythtv"

So I considered upgrading to this kernel, but I can't find it. I can find a 2.6.10-2.1 kernel but there are none of the required Myth packages (ivtv, lirc, etc) available other than alsa
No matter what FC2 kernel I look at, I can't find one that has both the kernel and all the required modules available. Am I missing something here or is it becoming a necessity to upgrade to FC3? I'd prefer not to have to go FC3 if FC2 will continue to be supported for a while as the FC3 upgrade seems way more involved.
I suffered serious pain doing this (dependency hell), but was successful in the end. I learned not to use up2date. yum is preferred (google: fc2 upgrade). I have since reverted to FC2, but that is because I like even more pain... If you upgrade to fc3, don't then run yum remove fedora-release-3-8*. This completely hosed my system (I.e., deleted core userland unix tools in /bin /sbin/. 6 hours later I had my mythbox back online after reinstalling FC2 & downloading all the stuff to make myth work again. Argh, I need to start dumping (backing up) my mythbox.
