I made similar changes to dvb-frontend.c some weeks ago. It's
unfortunate that it takes so much time until they get merged into
Linus' kernel tree.

Anyway, I would like to know why dvb_frontend_start() would fail
for you. The only reason it failed for me was when running the program
that open()s the frontend in the debugger, which leads to
kernel_thread() failure for 2.4.21-rc? since the time the ptrace() exploit
fixes have been merged.


Regards,
Johannes
