Namely, for this system, I need to emerge the kernel source, configure the kernel, install the kernel, update the nvidia binary driver, update alsa (if needed), and update ivtv to match the kernel version (if needed).  See the <a href=\"https:\/\/thedigitalmachine.com\/wiki\/index.php\/Configure_MythTV_kernel\">wiki<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n<p>Then it&#8217;s on to updating the rest of the system:<\/p>\n<div class=code>\nemerge -avu world<br \/>\netc-update\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Knocked out my mythtv box with a hasty half-finished emerge, making the whole family disappointed in the loss of movies and TV.
