OK ... if you have vanilla 2.6.9 Kernel, this worked for me

Download
http://sharkbait.game-host.org/mythtv/dvb-kernel-20041101-cvs.tar.gz
http://sharkbait.game-host.org/mythtv/video4linux-20041027-183455.tar.gz

Extract both in /usr/src
Make sure 2.6.9 source is linked to linux in this dir

Compile dvb-kernel running "make" in the build-2.6 dir in dvb-kernel
Also run MAKEDEV-DVB.sh in dvb-kernel to create device tree

Switch to the /usr/src/video4linux dir

Find these lines in Makefile and replace with the path to dvb source

EXTRA_CFLAGS += -Idrivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -Idrivers/media/dvb/frontends/
with
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -I/usr/src/dvb-kernel/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -I/usr/src/dvb-kernel/linux/drivers/media/dvb/frontends

Run:

make DVB=1
make install

create a script file containing (originally from Soyeb in this list) in
/usr/src/.   ... this is because we are using an older refactored cvs
version .... newer versions will automagically load the dependant modules

insmod ./video4linux/video-buf.ko
insmod ./video4linux/btcx-risc.ko
modprobe i2c-core
insmod ./video4linux/v4l2-common.ko
insmod ./video4linux/v4l1-compat.ko
modprobe i2c-algo-bit
modprobe videodev
insmod ./dvb-kernel/build-2.6/dvb-core.ko dvb_shutdown_timeout=0
insmod ./video4linux/video-buf-dvb.ko
insmod ./video4linux/cx88xx.ko
insmod ./video4linux/cx8802.ko
insmod ./video4linux/cx22702.ko
insmod ./dvb-kernel/build-2.6/mt352.ko
insmod ./video4linux/cx88-dvb.ko

and setup to run on boot eg in /etc/rc.local (you can run now also to
load the modules)

These instructions came from Tim MB (lurker on this list from time to time)
