After a very long debating (with myself) whether to upgrade or not to upgrade my almost perfect setup of R4V5, I finally took the plunge this last weekend and believe me it was worth the wait. Thanks for all their effort to make our life a little bit easier and better.
After making sure I have the complete backup etc, I did the auto upgrade and everything went smoothly. The only problems were due to mine. To fix the remote control problem, by mistake I reinstalled lirc and that hosed my system and I had to reinstall twice.
Anyway things are working a lot better now. Things to install/fix after upgrade. Make sure to read relevant posts.
Remote control - make sure lircd is in the bootup script.
Nvidia - install nvidia drivers.
CD/DVD - make sure the device is linked to /dev/hd? than /dev/scdo and has the right owner:group.
On a side note I installed the 0.17 mythfronend on my G5 and it is working great. Again thanks to Cecil and Dale for their wonderful job and keep it coming.
My setup :
Intel® P4 2.8AGHz (533 FSB) Boxed CPU
ECS 848P-A 800MHZ FSB Motherboard (with overclocking support)
