[linux-dvb] Re: DVB driver don't load after Suse update

[Karlheinz.Pischke@t-online.de (Karlheinz Pischke)]

Hi Andreas,

SuSE's YOU has very probably updated your kernel, too.
Test this with 
 rpm -qa | grep k_
(k_ result depends if you SMP, Athlon, ... whatever kernel)

In case you have no backup of the old kernel,
you have to start at the beginning then
load kernel_source
make cloneconfig
make dep; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install
cp bzImage /boot
mkinitrd
then reboot 
compile dvb/driver again

I ran into this beginning of last week.

To get nevertheless updates automatically,
I have now moved the self compiled kernel and initrd
to a different name and made an entry in grub/menu.lst
So a automatically updated (YOU) kernel does not overwrite
my own ...
