The problem is that I have recently added dvb-core into the merged build, and it is causing some conflicts in your configuration. You have three options: 1) Recompile your kernel from scratch, following the directions exactly, selecting NO DVB SUPPORT to be built -- this means, no not build them in-kernel, and do not build them as modules. After doing the kernel build, follow the rest of the tree-merge instructions. 2) You can back out v4l-kernel cvs to the 11/22/2005 revision, before I added dvb-core into the merge, and after cx24123 has been added. Then follow the wiki-howto procedure again. This might cause some problems, however, because you have mentioned that you have run dvb-kernel's makelinks script, and this might have screwed up your kernel sources, which you will need intact for future cvs builds. 3) You can wait until I import the rest of the dvb modules into the merged-trees build environment. I am away from my own computer currently, so I can't say that this will be ready for public use until tomorrow, or maybe even saturday, although, if you can wait a bit, this would be the best route. .... oh, there is another option: >(in dvb-kernel) >./makelinks /usr/src/linux-2.6.14.2 >(and then go into kernel dir do oldconfig, make menuconfig, make all, >make modules_install make install, reboot > >this seemed to work but when I modprobe cx24123 it doesn't detect my >card, and the other fixes I was expecting (CI IRQ issues) are not >there. > > If this is working right now, then you can install v4l-kernel (without the 'make merge-trees' command) in order for your card to be autodetected ... but first you will have to edit compat.h and remove the following lines: #if linux_version < kernel_version(2,6,16) #undef HAVE_CX24123 #endif Anyhow, if you are still having problems, just hang tight... I will have the merged environment working again for you shortly. Cheers, -- Michael Krufky
