[linux-dvb] Kernel 2.4 - TT / Nova-S - frontend problem?

[Stephan Rupprecht <mail@stephan-rupprecht.de>]

Hi,

I'm trying to get my DVB-S board working with kernel 2.4.27 but without much 
success so far. What I did (I believe it fails because 'dvb-ttpci' doesn't 
load. I had it working with kernel 2.6.10 but I need 2.4.27):

apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.27-2-k7
apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.27
<updated lilo.conf, reboot, etc...>
cp /boot/config-2.4.27-2-k7 /usr/src/linux/.config
cd /usr/src/linux
make oldconfig
make depend

then I got the dvb-kernel from CVS and installed the .fw file
"build-2.4/dvb-ttpci-01.fw"
cd dvb-kernel/build-2.4
make
./insmod load

./dvb-ttpci.o: init_module: No such device
