I never do 'make menuconfig' myself. As a troubleshooting step, maybe
you could try a 'make distclean' and try again without the make
menuconfig. The default config seems to work for me.
Also during the 'make' do any modules show errors or warnings when being
built?

After 'make unload' does lsmod still show the old dvb_core and other vl4
or dvb modules in memory? From the error messages you give below,
apparently the existing dvb_core module is still in memory and causing
you problems.
Here's what a make unload does on my machine which has the ivtv and cx18
modules loaded for a PVR-150MCE and HVR-1600:
make -C /home/andy/cx18dev/cx18-mmio-fixes/v4l unload
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/andy/cx18dev/cx18-mmio-fixes/v4l'

Without the right dvb_core.ko in place in the kernel, the cx18 driver
will fail to load. I'm not quite sure what modprobe means by "Invalid
argument".

It looks like make unload didn't unload the existing, in kernel
dvb_core.ko module

This really seems like a module version mismatch problem.
The in kernel dvb_core.ko module is not compatable with the newly
compiled cx18.ko module. This is probably because the in kernel
dvb_core.ko module is not the one you just compiled, but an older one.
As a first step you need to make sure the new dvb_core.ko is being
installed in the proper place for a gentoo distro and is the one being
loaded into memory.
Here are some commands which may help you figure out what versions of
what modules you have installed.
This command will show you where all the dvb-core.ko modules are
installed under /lib/modules:
# find /lib/modules -name dvb-core.ko -print
These will dump the 'vermagic' field for all dvb-core.ko and cx18.ko
modules installed under /lib/modules:
# find /lib/modules -name dvb-core.ko -exec modinfo -F vermagic {} \; -print
# find /lib/modules -name cx18.ko -exec modinfo -F vermagic {} \; -print
This command will show you the version of the cx18 module that will load by
default:
# modinfo -F vermagic cx18
Hope this helps,
Andy
