- nvidia drivers did not work at native resolutions on clients with MX4000
cards (still outstanding)
- it broke all my tftp stuff for diskless, had to reinstall and reconfigure
- dvd drives not mounting (haven't investigated this much yet)
- epgsnoop broke, had to install some extra python stuff that seemed to go
away during the upgrade
- lirc needed to be reconfigured from scratch (irblaster for sky)
- nfs broke and needed some prodding to get it going again
- PVR150 keeps going away after a reboot (still outstanding)

Not too bad considering the scale of the upgrade
You will have to do your frontends at the same time as 0.23 is not
backwards compatible with previous versions.

Also, install the autobuilds and update to the latest 0.23 + fixes, myth
was not stable until I did that as 0.23 still has a large number of daily
fixes released.

The new myth gui is very nice!!!
