What I usually do is: 1) Install the kernel sources 2) hg update in v4l-dvb 3) in v4l-dvb, do make kernel-links KDIR=/path/to/kernel I too get the patch faillure at this stage, but I've just been ignoring it :) This'll hook the DVB drivers into the kernel, replacing the DVB stuff there already.. all you need to do now is cd to the kernel directory, and do a normal kernel configure/compilation. The HG drivers will have been patched into the kernel so you should see 'em pop up in there. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
