Hi,

I have forgotten to check a feature when i configured my kernel :-(

Is it possible to check the missing feature as a module, and then only
compile this module? If so, is it correct, that I only need to run:

make modules; modules_install

and then

modprobe <module name>

TIA,

Jakob

If nothing else depends on it, then sure.

But depending on the speed of your system, and whether you'd really like
to have it built into the kernel or don't care, why not just rebuild te
kernel ?

For the same reason, that will only take a minute or so when all you do
is add one module.

Also yes.

All your bits are belong to us - again.

Thanks, Jeroen

I've now added Video For Linux and the BT848 driver. When I compile the
kernel, I get a lot of unresolved symbols (e.g. tvaudio.o, tuner.o,
bttv.o).

Do I need some additional features, or are there an error in this version of
the kernel sources (2.4.26-r6)?

What I'm trying to do, is to make my Hauppauge WinTV PVR 250 card work.

You need to download the ivtv driver, from
http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php. I'm using version
ivtv-0.1.10-pre2-ch98h on kernel 2.6.7-gentoo-r7. Don't use the 0.1.9
version, it's crap. The version I'm using works pretty nice with my
PVR350. To play TV, use "mplayer /dev/video0". Use ivtvctrl for
zapping. The number you need to pass as the frequency is the frequency
of the channel multiplied with 16.

The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
