[mpeg2] kfir.o doesn't finish initializing

[<ssingh@up.elctech.com>]

Okay I've got my 2nd BMK card now.  Don't ask me what happened to my 1st
card. :)  I've taken care of most of the stupid errors I was having
earlier, I think, but I still cannot get the kfir.o module to load
correctly.  It does not hang my computer but it seg faults when I try to
load it and an lsmod continually shows the kfir module as
"(initializing)"  I cannot even rmmod it because it hasn't finished
loading yet.  I've included a dump of my lsmod at the end of this
post.  I also have a couple of general questions that may help me debug
my setup.  The size of MPEG1_6.HLD is 59902 and I was told that it should
be 59872 bytes.  Any ideas on how to debug what is causing this slightly
larger file to be produced?  I think my KfirLib.dll is the right size, is
1826875 bytes okay ?  Also I've been poking around the kfir.c trying to
see where it seg faults but I've never worked with module code before.
When doing an insmod is "int init_module(void)" run first.  Changes I make
there have no effect because I believe that code is being excluded as a
result of the preprocessor commands that have to do with versioning
control.  So when the module is loaded, what runs first,
"module_init(kfir_init_module)"?  I'm running kernel 2.4.9.
Also can I use the WinTV-PVR with this driver?  ... just kidding
Thanks, any insight is appreciated.
