[linux-dvb] Re: strange firmware loading problem

[Mac Michaels <wmichaels1@earthlink.net>]

I had this problem when I converted to Linux 2.6. The 
solution is configure the kernel properly and recompile it. 
I used "make menuconfig" to add the following settings:

Device Drivers  --->
    Generic Driver Options  --->
        <*> Hotplug firmware loading support

Bus options (PCI, PCMCIA, EISA, MCA, ISA)  --->  
    PCI Hotplug Support  --->
        <*> Support for PCI Hotplug (EXPERIMENTAL)
        <M>   Fake PCI Hotplug driver

I'm not sure that Fake PCI Hotplug driver module is 
required. I selected it just in case the kernel needed a 
Hotplug driver. If your system has real hotplug capability 
you should select the correct one.
