Since you don't know what is going on in details, you are not aware of. In this case the old compat-ioctl32 is not replaced by the new v4l2-compat-ioctl32 module. If you do on top of the modules of your kernel version "less modules.symbols |grep ioctl32", you likely will see this. alias symbol:v4l_compat_ioctl32 compat_ioctl32 alias symbol:v4l_compat_ioctl32 v4l2-compat-ioctl32 But it should be only that. less modules.symbols |grep ioctl32 alias symbol:v4l_compat_ioctl32 v4l2-compat-ioctl32 On top of the mercurial v4l-dvb do "make rmmod", since some complaints are visible do it again. Then "make rminstall" should remove all old modules, but renamed ones or such in distribution specific wrong locations remain. Check with "ls -R |grep .ko" on top of your kernel's media modules folder. Delete the media folder or the modules. Now on "make install" everything is created new and a "depmod -a" on the end of it will automatically create all dependencies and module.symbols. Only in case of a deprecated module is not unloaded with "make rmmod", you might have to do this manually or reboot. >From now on everything will work automatically until again modules are changed. Use "modprobe -v" for loading, since this will also reveal possibly conflicting kernel modules in other locations than the media folder.
