Thanks, that I did not have to explain how to find the
kernel source :-)

If you want to do it the way I do, which is to test the
newly-built kernel modules without actually installing
them (in case I have more problems with the new than with
the old), the way I do it is...
% lsmod
(lists all the loaded kernel modules)
then I `rmmod' every module related to my particular
device and dvb/video/whatever is related, if I've been
updating that part of the source.
Then I load by hand, specifying the path to the
modules I've just built, like
# insmod /usr/local/src/v4l-dvb-last-before-2.6.16/v4l/[modname].ko
Keeping an eye on `dmesg' to show dependencies, which
you have experienced below...

Yes, this is correct. If you do not care to keep your
old modules, you can do a
# make install
which should overwrite your old distro modules with the
new ones you've built, as you have done below...

I've seen this before on the list, but personally I don't
know the precise solution -- check the archives, if
someone else doesn't provide the answer.

For the unknown symbols, as I mentioned above, that
means that needed modules aren't loaded -- as I note,
the way I do things (not recommended!) is to load
everything manually, mainly because I want to test
new hacks without losing my old modules.
I would then have to
# insmod /path/to/new/modules/[related-module].ko
where the related-modules are usually listed in the
`lsmod' output -- or else I just guess and load
anything that looks interesting and relevant.
As a wild guess, you need to load
...drivers/media/video/compat_ioctl32.ko
in order to get v4l_compat_ioctl32;
...drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134.ko
probably contains the various saa7134_foo symbols
which are needed by saa7134_dvb...

Check the mailing list archives, is my suggestion,
since my personal answer is `no', not having
experienced this myself...
Anyway, I'm happy that you're able to work your way
through this without too much help, and I hope you
are learning something useful at the same time...
