Can you please report the oops-log with symbols resolved using ksymoops?


Sorry, I was wrong. The dvb-kernel version works (before and after my patch).

I was stupid enough to manually install skystar2.o from dvb-kernel and try
using it with the old dvb-core and others from DVB.

There was another issue instead, not related to skystar2:
depmod -a -e says
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.22-r1/misc/dvb-bt8xx.o
depmod: bttv_get_i2c_adap
This function is defined nowhere and used in a
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,0)
condition.

You need to apply a bttv patch for older 2.4 kernels or bttv versions. You find it in the bt8xx driver directory.
It's better to use 2.4.23-rc3 (or rc4 or rc5, rc3 was the last I used) and the bttv driver from http://bytesex.org/snapshot/video4linux-xxxxyyzz.tar.gz, where
xxxxyyzz is the date of the release.

But this won't affect the skystar driver, though. I recently updated the README.bt8xx to reflect this method, no more patching with newer 2.4 kernels necessary.

CU
Michael.
