Are you sure that the kernel tree and config is identical to the kernel
you are running?

I guess you would be on the safe side to first compile a new kernel. I
haven't looked at the Makefile for the DVB driver, but it's a safe bet to
extract it to /usr/src/linux or make a symlink with that name to the
actual source tree.

If the sources there and the used config are not identical to the
installed kernel then it won't work.

After running the new kernel make clean the driver source and then try
compiling it again. Hopefully it should work then.

cu,
Lars
