Hi > We are currently working on having a skystar2 running on a kernel 2.4.20 > (redhat 8) > Skystar version is 2.6c. I'm running the dvb-kernel drivers on 2.4.20-8 (RH9) without problem (although my CVS checkout is a few months old). I however have a Hauppauge Nova-CI card, so I can't comment on the Skystar support, but I don't think the kernel is a problem. > > The problem we encounter is the following: the dvb drivers available are > for kernel < 2.4.19 or kernel >= 2.4.23. > There is no kernel update from redhat for version greater than 2.4.20. > > >From what we understood, contraints on kernel version are due to > video4linux.
