the upgrade was relatively painless.
The gain of 2.6 is, that USB(DVB and Storage) is much better supported, and the DVB drivers including DVB-T are part of the kernel!
Now let's wait if the box is stable now...
A BIG disadavantage is the increase of boot time.
Himt: There is no sensfull way back to 2.4.x and VDR!(2.4 allone as "emergency" works) if you try to "upgrade". You have to make new LIRC, modules etc. so it is strongly recomended to use a new disc for the new kernel and start from stratch.
One probem is logged in dmesg:

A reason to worry or is that just the new kind lirc indicates spurious interrupts?
