I don't see an hg on my system.  Where would I find it to check?

The CVS that I grabbed that did not work, until I updated to 2.6.24 was
dated Mar 17th, 11:39AM CST.

Hi Mark,

for all other reports we have, it is not about to install 2.6.24.

It was broken in mercurial for some days and is fixed there for now.
http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-March/024575.html

Since you used previously v4l-dvb master and now again, you should check
if you have changeset 7374. ("hg log > hg.log" - "hg export 7374")
Risc memory did still hold PCI specific stuff directly, going back
before this fix, you will have the problems again.

Cheers,
Hermann
