[vdr] Re: VDR on Suse7.3

[Mirko Günther <mi.guenther@ib-helms.de>]

If' try to install the dvb-modules under SuSE8.0 (kernel 2.4.18), but 
during the compile I get and errormessage, that the function-prototype 
"kmap_pagetable" were not found. Does someone know, what this function 
do and why it is absent in the 2.4.18 kernel and how I can still compile 
the modules?
It's nore the dvb-module, I've the same problem with my nvidia-module...
