Hi Martijn,
 
I had the same trouble and I fixed it with three extra module parameters
for dvb.o to define where the files boot_up.afx, Root and Dpram are. I
use Caldera Linux and would like to be compatible with COAS (a system
management utility). Even though all these files were in the same
directory (/lib/modules/2.2.14/misc) the module dvb.o did never find the
other binaries during insmod while booting (without the parameters).
 
My patch is not very clever (3 times the same path), so someone more
experienced should implement this permanently in the source.
 
There should at least one parameter for giving the path of boot_up.afx,
Root and Dpram. If no parameter is given then it looks per default in the
current directory. Another possibility seems to be including these
binaries in the source of dvb.c (or as includes) maybe as constants of an
array of bytes (HEX representation).
 
If someone is interested I can send the sourcecode of my dvb.c.

      Betreff: Boot_up.axf
Hi guys,
 
I did a make install and all modules installed allright.
Dependencies worked allright as well but when I try to start DVB0
(which I aliased in conf.modules) dvb.o keep nagging me about being
unable to load Boot_up.axf. I found the damn thing but I don't know
where to put it, so that dvb.o is able to find it as well. All I
could figure out is that it should be in the current directory when
I try and insmod dvb.o.
