Mmm, wonder if it will work without i2c-support, i set it to "module" and
remember myself to delete the additional i2c-core.o every time i do
a "make modules_install" (about once a week ;-)

I assume after you rebuild your kernel and DVB-driver the above messages are 
gone?

If not, make sure the modules 
/lib/modules/2.4.0/misc/demux.o
/lib/modules/2.4.0/misc/dvbdev.o
exist. (there the functions come from as a "grep dvb_register_device ..." can 
tell you).
Anyway, as i wrote in my "Install" Section, doing it with a small script 
(using make insmod) is prefered at the moment, i had all sorts of strange
problem let it the kernel autoloader do :-(
(But replacing the i2c-core module under /lib/modules is recommended
if you have other drivers using i2c).

At least lsmod should show something like:

If it doesn't it's no wonder vdr fails ;-)

(I assume the character devices /dev/video* exist at all?)
