[linux-dvb] Nebula installation and nxt6000 fault

I am installing a Nebula DigiTV board but with a few issues. Have followed the various README's and sailed in the draught of a number of postings in this mailing list but seem stuck. Any help here is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The version of Linux is Mandrake 9.2 with a 2.4.23 kernel (2.4.23-0.rc5.2mdk). Video 4 linux enabled.

Installed Video4Linux from video4linux-20031208.tar.gz

Installed dvb-kernel/build-2.4 from latest CVS archives

Bit of a nightmare sorting out conflicting v4l1-compat.o and v4l2-common.o between V4L and dvb-kernel along with Mandrake installed dvb_mod libraries. Cleaned up stale modules and removed conflicting dvb-kernel modules with priority to V4L.

Ran the following commands:

#modprobe bttv card=0x68 i2c_hw=1
