[linux-dvb] help with HD5000 (noobe)

[Todd]

I left some steps out in my description.  That is what I did:
Kernel source linux-2.6.13.2
hd5000-cleanup.patch
ran the patch on the kernel source
then downloaded and installed the dvb-kernel follwing this:
http://linuxgazette.net/118/knaggs.html

...at any rate, is "b2c2-flexcop: i2c master_xfer failed" normal in my 
dmesg?

I will also try the other suggestion to update lgdt330x.c

Thanks again,
ToddD
