I solved this now by myself, but looking for a hint in INSTALL or
README shows me nothing.

Problem was, that the ARM files "Dpram" and "Boot" have to be located
in specific directories, either

"./arm_firm", "./" or "DVB_FIRM_PATH"

where DVB_FIRM_PATH is defined as "/lib/DVB"

After creating upper directory and copy both files into, the module
loading step works well staying elsewhere in FS.

mho: a hint in INSTALL or FAQ regarding this issue would be great...
