[linux-dvb] [BUG] kobject_register failed for tveeprom (-17) --> RESOLVED

[Gunther Mayer]

Hi,

PROBLEM:
========
- OpenSuse 10.0 + "hg"
   make
   make install
then gives this error on "modprobe tveeprom"

kobject_register failed for tveeprom (-17)
 [<c021c4dd>] kobject_register+0x5d/0x70
 [<c028b43f>] bus_add_driver+0x6f/0xd0
 [<f98cf080>] i2c_device_remove+0x0/0x10 [i2c_core]
 [<f98cf5cd>] i2c_add_driver+0x3d/0xc0 [i2c_core]
 [<c0143a7c>] sys_init_module+0xcc/0x1e0
 [<c01042ab>] sysenter_past_esp+0x54/0x79

ANALYSIS
========
(-17) means EEXIST, and indeed Suse install "ivtv-tveeprom" which is the 
culprit

SOLUTION:
=========
1) find the offending module
linux:/lib/modules #
find |grep ivtv-tvee
./2.6.13-15.8-smp/extra/ivtv-tveeprom.ko
./2.6.13-15.8-xen/extra/ivtv-tveeprom.ko

2) remove the module
linux:/lib/modules #
rm ./2.6.13-15.8-smp/extra/ivtv-tveeprom.ko

3) rebuild module dependencies
cd /lib/modules/2.6.13-15.8-smp
depmod
