[elrepo] Headers question

Hi,

I'm using the EL5 ml kernel, ver 2.6.35-14.1, to try out some new 
hardware.  When I loaded it, I didn't think to load the -devel and 
-headers files.

I'm trying to get a newly purchased Hauppauge hd-pvr working in MythTV 
so I need a very new hdpvr driver (part of linuxtv's v4l-dvb drivers). 
Looks like I'm going to have to use the git version of those drivers 
(because the hardware/firmware is so new).  I am able to install the 
kernel-ml-devel files, but not the kernel-ml-headers.

I get a yum error about the kernel-ml-headers-2.6.35-14.1.el5.elrepo 
conflicting with the kernel-headers-2.6.18-308.1.1.el5 (which is my 
"production" kernel).  So I can't load the ml header files.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks!

Joe Henley
