you have mixed up a kernel with module versioning with kernel includes 
and config of a kernel without module versioning.

Here you have a very old driver module installed. dvb_firm.o became 
obsolete a long time ago.

Please clean up your installation. Remove all old dvb driver modules in 
your /lib/modules directory, get a fresh kernel from 
http://www.kernel.org/, configure and install it from scratch. Then 
reboot, get a fresh CVS DVB driver snapshot and retry.
