AFAIK dvb-kernel already doesn't compile with older kernels than 2.6.9. You may disable the non-working modules from Makefile, if you don't need them. On the other hand, upgrading the kernel is rather easy, since it uses the .config of your 2.6.8 kernel. You need only make oldconfig/xconfig, make && make modules_install && make install. Another possibility is to install a newer kernel from SUSE's "unstable" branch, if such branch exists. -- Anssi Hannula
