PROBLEM FOUND. There was a duplication in module dependencies. The same modules appear in the kernel as well as the pluggable module. I edited /lib/modules/2.6.11.7/modules.dep while looking at all the devices installed by the "dl.bytesex" 'make install', I moved all files that were in the kernel as well as in the module elsewhere, then issued a 'depmod -ae' to clean out the dependencies. They're now all in : >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. The offending duplications were : /lib/modules/2.6.11.7/kernel/drivers/media .: common dvb video ./common: ir-common.ko ./dvb: frontends ./dvb/frontends: cx22702.ko mt352.ko ./video: btcx-risc.ko bttv.ko cx88 saa7134 tda9887.ko tveeprom.ko v4l1-compat.ko v4l2-common.ko video-buf.ko ./video/cx88: cx8800.ko cx8802.ko cx88-blackbird.ko cx88xx.ko ./video/saa7134: saa7134-empress.ko saa7134.ko <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< now "modprobe cx88-dvb" works (dmesg): Linux video capture interface: v1.00 cx2388x dvb driver version 0.0.4 loaded cx2388x: snapshot date 2005-04-04 cx88[0]: subsystem: 0070:9002, board: Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T [card=18,autodetected] cx88[0]: hauppauge eeprom: model=90002, tuner=76 cx88[0]: registered IR remote control ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:0a.2[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 cx88[0]/2: found at 0000:00:0a.2, rev: 5, irq: 11, latency: 32, mmio: 0xeb000000 cx88[0]/2: cx2388x based dvb card DVB: registering new adapter (cx88[0]).
