g'day,

i'm installing the kernel via:
  [in kernel src directory]  make -j2; make install modules_install
  [in dvb-v4l directory]     make -j2; make install

CONFIG_DVB_CORE_ATTACH is enabled.
in the dvb-v4l tree, i have just about all the modules enabled for
compilation ('M') except those disabled by CONFIG_VIDEO_KERNEL_VERSION

depmod is run as a result of the 'make install' in the dvb-v4l tree.

from looking at the resulting /lib/modules/2.6.18-rc5ltd1/modules.dep, i can
see that no modules seem to think they have a dependency on mt352.
same for dst.

i also see mt352_attach as listed in
/lib/modules/2.6.18-rc5ltd1/modules.symbols:alias symbol:mt352_attach mt352
but don't entirely understand the twisty maze of
symbol_request/try_then_request_module/request_module to see why it would be
failing.

i'd love to help get this working/fixed!
any of the above give any clues for where else i should be looking?


cheers,

lincoln.
