Hello Ben! So your Kconfig file looks something like this > config DVB_DRIVER > tristate "DVB Driver" > depends on <something> > help > DVB Driver module and your v4l/.config file contains a line saying > CONFIG_DVB_DRIVER=m I noticed that in your Makefile you have written > obj-$(CONFIG_DVB_DRIVER) := dvb-driver.o but it should rather be > obj-$(CONFIG_DVB_DRIVER) += dvb-driver.o Cheers, Christian.
