Hm, did you forget to replace 'Dpram'?
If Root and Dpram do not match, the driver will probably crash.

I'm using the following firmware files:

254324 Apr 15  2002 Root
   288 Apr 15  2002 Dpram

After checking my archive I found that all *old* drivers from 
June - October 2002 contain these files. 
IMHO the firmware of the old driver has not changed since April, 15th.

How to replace the firmware:
- cd DVB/driver/av7110
- replace Root *and* Dpram
- apply the remote control patch (if needed)
- cd ..
- make clean
- make

That's all.
