Think it is also caused by 2.6.18 on a not properly updated FC3 for it. When I did a first test of dvb_attach four weeks back on 2.6.18-rc1 FC3 (!), after a look at Documentation/Changes I had finally to pull in for circular dependencies FC4 stuff, as udev-071-0.FC4.3, SysVinit-2.85-39, initscripts-8.11.1-1, module-init-tools-3.2-0.pre9.0.FC4.4. Also it is hotplug-2004_09_23-7 and I can't tell if this all will be sufficient in all cases. The recommended module-init-tools 0.9.10 in Changes was not such helpful, but also FC3 clearly gets bit rotten. A recent FC5 kernel would probably talk about it.
