My system can at least boot now, but has issues loading the

frontend.

DVB: Unable to find symbol stv0288_attach()

It seems that you didn't compile those two frontends.

Cheers,

I tried:
make rmmod
make rminstall

Although there were still some drivers left over from "tevii_linuxdriver_0815"

/lib/modules/2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686/kernel/drivers/media/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-s600.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686/kernel/drivers/media/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-s650.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686/kernel/drivers/media/video/zr36067.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686/kernel/drivers/media/video/zr36060.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686/kernel/drivers/media/video/zr36050.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686/kernel/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134-oss.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686/kernel/drivers/media/video/zr36016.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686/kernel/drivers/media/video/tuner-3036.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686/kernel/drivers/media/video/videocodec.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686/kernel/drivers/media/video/dpc7146.ko

so i just removed manually and rebooted.
Same issue occurred on reboot.

So i thought to try manually unloading and reloading the module

barry:~# rmmod cx8802
barry:~# modprobe cx8802   

kernel: cx88/2: cx2388x MPEG-TS Driver Manager version 0.0.6 loaded
kernel: cx88[0]/2: cx2388x 8802 Driver Manager
kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:05:08.2[A] -> Link [APC3] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
kernel: cx88[0]/2: found at 0000:05:08.2, rev: 5, irq: 18, latency: 32, mmio: 0xd9000000

kernel: cx88[0]/2: cx2388x based DVB/ATSC card
kernel: cx8802_alloc_frontends() allocating 1 frontend(s)
kernel: DVB: registering new adapter (cx88[0])
kernel: DVB: registering adapter 2 frontend 0 (ST STV0288 DVB-S)...

This time it makes the devices in /dev/dvb/
Now unfortunately i can't test to see if it can actually Tune until a few hours time when i get home (i think i forgot to plug my satellite cable back in!)

Will report back later

Can i change the load order of kernel modules, it dosnt seem to like being loaded before my other dvb modules
