Was that by any chance some linux-dvb snapshot? Those
are only meant to
compile on 2.4 anyway afaik.
I am using the latest gentoo (yes, I know how could I
not be) - but what
does anyone/everyone recommend ?
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
Well one step fowards, many backwards...
