Was that by any chance some linux-dvb snapshot? Those are only meant to 
compile on 2.4 anyway afaik.

Just build a vanilla 2.6.9 as if you were going to use the in-kernel 
drivers (select them all as modules, of course). Boot it and then

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv co dvb-kernel
cd dvb-kernel/build-2.6
make
rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/*
cp *.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/
depmod -a
rmmod whatever old drivers are still loaded
modprobe whatever you need as usual
