Todd-

The HD5000 patch WILL NOT work against a vanilla 2.6.13.y kernel.  The 
reason for this is because Patrick's check-callback patch on lgdt330x 
hasnt been merged into the mainline kernel yet at that point.  It is, 
however, included in 2.6.14-rc1.

Instead, I recommend that you should download dvb-kernel cvs, and apply 
the HD5000 patch against dvb-kernel cvs, then compile THAT against 
2.6.13.y ... THAT should work for you.

If you are unable to get that done, then you can try to apply the 
following patch against your tree... Here is the check-callback patch 
that I was talking about:

Good Luck.
