[linux-dvb] make modules_install depmod: *** Unresolved symbols

[strider400@optusnet.com.au]

Hey

The nonexistent symbol error I complained about before was due to a config file 
from my old kernel, I deleted the file and the kernel uses one of it's own, which 
fixes the problem.

I've been having problems with inserting the dvb modules into the kernel. When I 
did my 'make menuconfig' I used the 'm' rather than 'y' for all the dvb options.

the 'make', 'make bzImage' and 'make modules' seem to work ok, but the 'make 
modules_install' generates errors

I'm not sure what causes these errors. When I just say 'y' to the dvb options in 
the 'make menuconfig' I don't think I get these exact errors, but when I try insmod 
to load the drivers, I get a different symbol error or it says that the file is not a 
module, which is why I tried using 'm' instead of 'y'

thanks

Ben
