You don't have to be a great C programmer to put some printk's into the 
source code.

Don't think so. 'High memory' is kernel configuration option, iirc for 
machines with more than 4GB memory. This should be pointless for most 
vdr users.

It works, I'm running dvb-kernel right now ;-)
Maybe you did not load the keymap because av7110_loadkeys or the keymap 
could not be found or something like this.

No, I always compile vdr against HEAD and use the same vdr binary both 
for HEAD and dvb-kernel. This approach works because the API has not 
been changed.
