Hi Tim, I'm a mandrake user as well. I believe there was insufficient room on the CD to include the kernel source. I got mine from ftp://mirror.ac.uk/pub/Mandrake_Linux
The source for your kernel may be in the Mandrake-devel or Mandrake folders depending if you have upgraded the kernel. Just download the kernel-source rpm with the correct version and install it. Then (from memory) I believe you have to modify the DVB driver kernel path to point to the kernel source. Do make in the root of the DVB folder (if you did a CVS checkout) of linuxtv... if you used the tarball. Then do a make in the drivers folder. Do a make insmod to install the drivers as modules. All as per the instructions. I believe that work on the separate drivers has ceased and all effort is going into the dvb-kernel. I have built the latest kernel 2.6.0 and linked the dvb-kernel in and it works fine with my Nova-t, not yet worked out how to get my AverTV DVB working. It's not too hard to get going.
