I have written a dvb runlevelscript from the insmod.sh from the driver 
package. because frontend does not depend on the normal module and vice versa 
one ends up at loading all modules and let the modules do the work. Because 
there is no slowdown in doing so (by lenths the most time consuming is the 
loading of the firmware) i just load all 

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/avm-capi4linux/temp/cooker/dvb

There is for sure room for improvement :) Suggestions are welcome

To cut down error possibilities i use then service dvb force-restart in my 
runvdr. 

Maybe this helps, no magic in there but it works here ;)
