Terratec Cinergy C PCI - Mantis Driver

Hi V4L-List,

i hope i can find a solution with your help here.
The situation:
Hp ProLiant DL380 G2 Server should become a LinuxMCE Core (got that cheap). LinuxMCE is based on Kubuntu 7.10 (i386 in my case)
I think the components of the System arent relevant, but correct my please if not.
Maybe that there are only PCI-X slots available, but all Cards I use are 3.3V compatible (with the 2 notch).

DVB-C Card is "Terratec Cingery C PCI HD".

I installed the card via this method:

cd /usr/src
sudo apt-get install mercurial
sudo hg clone http://jusst.de/hg/mantis cd mantis
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo reboot

this worked for me several times.
(
i got the expected dmesg output:

[  101.667604] found a VP-2040 PCI DVB-C device on (0a:01.0),
[  101.670427] DVB: registering new adapter (Mantis dvb adapter)
[  102.189326] mantis_frontend_init (0): Probing for CU1216 (DVB-C)
[  102.192819] mantis_frontend_init (0): found Philips CU1216 DVB-C
frontend (TDA10023) @ 0x0c
[  102.192823] mantis_frontend_init (0): Mantis DVB-C Philips CU1216
frontend attach success
[  102.192829] DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (Philips TDA10023

DVB-C)...
)
but after the last complete new-installation its not anymore. (
now die dmesg output:
~: dmesg | grep -i dvb
~:
)
i'm not sure what to try next. the card itself installs in Vista x64 without any errors so its no hardware defect i guess.
i also tried to install a older version of the mantis driver, but i'm not sure if i downloaded them correctly.
i'm also not sure if i can reinstall older or newer versions of the driver without messing something up. does that work?
i also tried several different pci-x slots caused that procedure sometimes helped me in windows environment...

any hints please for me before i jump from a bridge or something :)

Please load the mantis_core.ko module before you load the mantis.ko module.
