Should I wait for the patch coming up through v4l-dvb or test Alan's patch?
2.6.27.2 has quite a few issues:

1. xfs is broken w/barrier (there is a patch for this)
2. usb hangs (patch below)
3. abit-guru (comsetic issue only, doesn't find mobo) (there is a patch 
for this now as well)

So I am sticking with 2.6.26.5 right now, let me know if you need me
to test Alan's patch to see if it fixes the issue.
