Public bug reported:
In order to properly setup my myth box under Fiesty, I have recompiled
the 2.6.20-13 kernel in order to build module support for LIRC. I am
also setting up a PCHDTV 5500 card, which has drivers for both DVB
(cx88-dvb) and video4linux (cx8800). The DVB drivers are not loading
automatically in 2.6.20-13 (in either the generic kernel or my
recompiled kernel), so I was trying to blacklist the cx8800 driver. I
found that when I added a file in /etc/modprobe.d containing the
blacklist directive, it works (driver not loaded) when I boot with the
generic kernel, but does not work (driver gets loaded) when I boot using
my recompiled kernel. Note that the recompiled kernel is built using
the .config file from /boot/config-2.6.20-13-generic without
modification, so it should in theory be identical to the provided
generic kernel.
I will include the needed files for debug as soon as I figure out how to
attach them here in Launchpad.
