yea so i think i got it now. I think i updated the my.cnf before i should have. i reverted and now mythtv-setup completes the upgrade, but my my.cnf has all character-set lines = latin1. just wasn't sure if they were suppose to be removed or not. I thought the sed script was commenting them out. <br>
<br>anyway, all good ... for now<br><br>thanks for your help<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 10:21 PM, Michael T. Dean <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mtdean@thirdcontact.com">mtdean@thirdcontact.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

That I can't tell you. You'll have to either play around with your config until you get it right or find some Gentoo user that knows how Gentoo configures things and have them help you reconfigure it.<br>
<br>
Or, use a temporary non-Gentoo system to upgrade your DB--like the Mythbuntu approach I mentioned.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
