I have tried this, but for me, it does not work. My USB/input system were already compiled as modules (as are the DVB drivers) I have a Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T, kernel 2.4.20, latest drivers from CVS. When I insert the modules, everything is fine. I can then tune the card in with "dvbtune". However, when I start streaming from the card, I get the kernel oops others have reported. This only occurs when the machine is first switched on...... when I reboot after this initial Oops, everything works perfectly. -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
