For linux-2.6.0-test9 I simply use
make && make modules_install

I'm not sure about the build procedures for the new kernel, but a simple 
make builds it all correctly for me.

Yep.. modprobe bttv card=0x68 will stop it hanging

I have 2 cards, a dst and a flyvideo98

My driver load script that works with 2.4 or 2.6 is..

modprobe bttv card=0x68,0x38 i2c_hw=1
modprobe dvb-core dvb_shutdown_timeout=0
modprobe bt878
modprobe dst
modprobe dvb-bt8xx

my dodgy script for watching telly and recording shows is

#!/bin/sh
SZAP=/home/brad/dvb/DVB/apps/szap/szap
DVB=/home/brad/dvb/dvbstream/dvbstream
CHANFILE=/root/chan.new
let count=0
TMP1=""
for i in `cat $CHANFILE | cut -f1 -d: | sed 's/\ /_/g;s/^/"/;s/$/"/'` ;

        do TMP1="$TMP1 $i $count";
        let count++ ;
done

#echo $TMP1
CHAN=`dialog --stdout --menu "Sat Channel Menu" 48 128 40 $TMP1`
reset
CHAN2=`echo $CHAN | sed 's/_/ /g;s/"//g'`
#echo $CHAN2
TMP1=`cat $CHANFILE | grep "$CHAN2"`
#echo $TMP1
$SZAP -x "$CHAN2"
VID=`echo $TMP1 | cut -f6 -d:`
AID=`echo $TMP1 | cut -f7 -d:`
#echo $VID $AID
aumix -L
FILE=`echo $CHAN | sed 's/"//g'`
FILE=$FILE-`date +%d%m%y-%H%M`.mpg
$DVB -o -ps $VID $AID > /raid/tmp/$FILE &
sleep 10
mplayer -vo fbdev -vop scale=1024:768,pp=0x20000 -framedrop -ao oss 
/raid/tmp/$FILE
killall dvbstream

Good luck
Brad..
