Interestingly I had none of these problems with 2.4.18 and dvb-kernel 
from, I think, last friday which compiled with no change (except changing
KDIR and DEST in the Makefile to point to my kernel, which is not the 
running kernel on the compilation box). My 2.4.18 is the one from the 
Debian kernel-source package, which I think is the kernel.org version 
or very close to it.

(Another way to avoid some of these issues would be not to compile 
video-buf etc. It seems budget cards like the Nova-T don't use this 
at all.)

Same here with Nova-S, and same solution with the dvb_core flag.
