[linux-dvb] Re: need an howto for debian/nova-t/kernel2.6

Hi,
i managed to  get a 2.10.rc2 kernel to compile and running, 
gives me a some errors during boot, but lsmod shows this:

cx88_dvb                7428  0

shpchp                100740  0
....

now when i do try to compile v4l it ends after a second.


      * make -C /lib/modules/2.6.10-rc2/build
        SUBDIRS=/root/tmp/v4l/video4linux modules
      * make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.10-rc2/build: No such file or
        directory.  Stop.
      * make: *** [default] Fehler 2


Also xawtv, which i installed with apt crashes with a "memory error".


so what are the next steps, maybe the memory error depends on my kernel.


thx
