Any new suggestions?
I've tried to port the dvb-bt driver to the new sub device interface. It
might or might not work, depending on my luck :) You will need a snapshot
of the bttv core from http://cvs.bytesex.org/video4linux.html, at least
from 2004-07-22 15:54. I have no idea what other (if any) patches you
would need except this one, so please enlighten me.

After this procedure everything looks worse.

Loading bttv still works
Loading bt878 is also okay
But at this point seems to be a problem. The next step would be to load
dvb-bt8xx. When loading the module, I don't get any output (setting
option debug=1 does not help). At the moment I've no clue why.

Ok, could you sprinkle a lot of printk's int the dvb_bt8xx_probe, dvb_bt8xx_remove, dvb_bt8xx_i2c_info functions of dvb-bt8xx.c?
Yes I could do that, but not before tomorrow. Starting with the use of the snapshot for v4l I felt like rebuilding a clean kernel before trashing it completly ;-)

So today I will rebuild a "clean kernel" (this also requires some external kernel modules for me) and tomorrow I will create a complete new kernel source tree just for this stuff.

BTW I ran into some trouble when using the v4l snapshot (see following dmesg output). As the v4l snapshot does not work that simple as the dvb stuff (./makelinks such things) is there any simple way to "copy" the source files into the kernel source tree? That would make the build process much easier.
