[linux-dvb] Sarge installation failure

[Jean-Michel POURE <jm.poure@freesurf.fr>]

Dear all,

I am trying like hell to install DVB under GNU/Linux. In a first attempt, I 
tried a redhat 8.0 installation. I tried this without success :

#copy the RH System.map from /boot/System.map-2.4.xx to
#/usr/src/linux/System.map
#go to /usr/src/linux, "make clean" and "make mrproper"
#"make menuconfig" and load the current config from /boot (must be
#config-2.4.xx or so)
#save settings an go out of menuconfig
#"make dep"
#try to build the driver

By the way, I modified the make file according to the readme file.

Then, in a second attempt, I tried to install Debian on my VIA Epia 800 
mini-itx computer. The sarge net installer does not work well and fails 
during kernel installation.

I am quite desperate. Back to RedHat 8.0.

Is there a RedHat 8.0 RPM package targeted at 'normal' avarage users like 
myself. If someone explains how to compile DVB under RedHat, I am prepared to 
submit an RPM package myself.

I am dying for help. This is now 2 months since I bought my DVB card. Still 
not working under GNU/Linux. I am not prepared to install a new kernel, 
because it will not be compatible with the boot sequence of RedHat 8.0.

Shall I turn to a distribution including DVB like Suse?
Any suggestion are welcome.

Cheers, Jean-Michel
