thanks for the hint, but i allready fixed this one. if you put the 
Dparam and Root files in the directory defined by  DVB_FIRM_PATH in 
dvb.h then the firmware can be loaded independetly of your working 
directory. i've tested this by insmoding all the drivers "by hand" and 
it works. but when i do a modprobe dvb (which pulls all the drivers) it 
does not work. any ideas??
