I have two such boards, both using S5H1411 and up until recently I was patching the driver as instructed here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?s=3e6dd6214edd1145b5df6336d10ff941&p=1586999&postcount=9 A week ago, openSUSE 12.2 updated the kernel to 3.4.28-2.20 and now building the v4l drivers from git results in kernel panic.(I had to restore the system from an image backup). Even before, there was always a problem with building from source; when doing that the kernel reports /lib/modules/3.x.x-desktop is inconsistent and this prevents other drivers from installing (i.e. nvidia). This happens on a few different systems when using the instructions from here: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers Any suggestion appreciated.
