Kenneth,

The main problem I have seen with compiling the dvb-kernel using Suse's 2.6
kernel source is the missing "msleep" defines in Suse's kernel headers.  I
believe Suse is running a 2.6.5 kernel so, if that helper function was to be
added back with some ifdef statements looking for a kernel 2.6.5 and below,
then Suse's kernel source should work.  Something like if kernel > 2.6.5
then use msleep, and if it is below 2.6.5, use the previous helper function.
But, this does sound like a maintenance nightmare :(.
