No I hadn't recompiled the driver. I was hoping not to have to (whenever I try to compile drivers it never seems to work properly, almost certainly my fault though).

How should I re-compile the driver?

I have downloaded the dvb-kernel from cvs, as of this morning, and doing a make in the dvb-kernel directory I get as far as:

..
  CC [M]  /usr/src/dvb-kernel/build-2.6/budget-core.o
  CC [M]  /usr/src/dvb-kernel/build-2.6/budget.o
  CC [M]  /usr/src/dvb-kernel/build-2.6/budget-av.o
  CC [M]  /usr/src/dvb-kernel/build-2.6/budget-ci.o
  CC [M]  /usr/src/dvb-kernel/build-2.6/budget-patch.o
  LD [M]  /usr/src/dvb-kernel/build-2.6/dvb-ttpci.o
  GEN     .version
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `init/main.o', needed by `init/built-in.o'.  Stop.
make[2]: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.1-1.61/build'

Many thanks for your help
