The problem was that i didn't now how to "load" that new compiled module instead of the "default one" i mean.... if i run "modprobe saa7134"_dvb i'm accessing to the default module that comes with the kernel. is that right? so... i didn't how to load the new module. what i did then was "make distclean" and then i compiled with "make all" and "make install" so that i could load the new module by just doing "modproe saa7134_dvb". is this right? well.... when loading i get this message: ******************** FATAL: Error inserting saa7134 (/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) WARNING: Error running install command for saa7134 FATAL: Error inserting saa7134_dvb (/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134-dvb.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) ********************* and this is what dmesg says about it: ********************* [ 240.715593] saa7134: disagrees about version of symbol v4l_compat_ioctl32 [ 240.715604] saa7134: Unknown symbol v4l_compat_ioctl32 [ 240.776343] saa7134_dvb: Unknown symbol saa7134_tuner_callback [ 240.776410] saa7134_dvb: Unknown symbol saa7134_ts_register [ 240.776643] saa7134_dvb: Unknown symbol saa7134_set_gpio [ 240.776703] saa7134_dvb: Unknown symbol saa7134_ts_qops [ 240.776845] saa7134_dvb: Unknown symbol saa7134_i2c_call_clients [ 240.776983] saa7134_dvb: Unknown symbol saa7134_ts_unregister ********************* right now, i'm running on kernel 2.6.24-19-generic any idea how to fix this? thanks. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
