[linux-dvb] Re: Cannot get modules to load for my Nebula PCI card

Simon,

I think your "No such file or directory" errors stem from the fact that a
2.6 kernel will expect '.ko' module names, rather than '.o'.

It sounds like you're using the separate DVB drivers, rather than those
included in the kernel source. I'd stick to the latter, as they're pretty
up-to-date, and don't require compiling separately.

For a BT878 card, you'll need to enable the "I2C bit-banging interface"
kernel option before you can enable the BT878 options under DVB devices.
You'll also need to select the appropriate tuner and frontend devices. I'd
compile them all as modules.

Once, that's done, it's a matter of modprobing each module in the right
order. Note that if you don't pass bttv the correct parameters, it'll
probably hang your machine. They're documented in the dvb driver docs.

Cheers,

Jon
