Re: PCTV 73eSE driver not loaded

Devin,

The build process was not complete indeed. Dropping FiredTV made it successful 
- the rest of the story is positive; everything running smooth.

Many thanks!

Luc.

 These are the 'cookbook' steps I followed:

 -V4L-DVB kernel modules downloaded (source)
 -make (screen output attached)
 -make install
 -reboot (with the DVB-T USB dongle attached during boot)

 Outcome:
 -There is no /dev/dvb directory
 -/proc/modules does not list any relevant reference to the PCTV 73eSE USB 
 dongle (apparently the correct driver for that should be the DIB0700 driver)

 Looking at the mailing list, there is some history on the PCTV 73eSE device: 
 apparently this was originally owned by Pinnacle; the same device can have 2 
 different manuf ID's. Posts on the list (nov / dec 2009) point out that 
 corrections have been done to support both manuf ID's.

 The vendor ID in my case apparently is 0x2013. I am able to find back this ID 
 in the source files (but I am not a programmer), so it looks as if this is 
 not the reason why the driver doens't get loaded. Nevertheless, the 
 'automagic' part of udev seems to have abandoned me:)

 Any idea's to proceed on this?

 Thanks in advance,

A couple of quick things:

Your build doesn't look complete.  Did you manually run make
menuconfig and pick
