[linux-dvb] Re: Help please, can't compile dvb drivers.

["Florian" <florian79@ifrance.com>]

Thanks, but as I noticed,
I found the mistake.
I had enabled « Set version information on all symbols for modules »
on my kernel. When I disbled on my new kernel, I could
compile DVB drivers.

does your /usr/src/linux/ link points to the source of your running kernel?

Ensure that your kernel includes and your config in /usr/src/linux match
your running kernel and don't use esoteric or proprietary kernel patches
