    Correct.

    And there is one difference between the modprobe cx88-dvb that works,
    and the ones that don't. The ones that do report:
    kernel: DVB: registering new adapter (cx88[0]).
    kernel: DVB: registering frontend 0 (Oren OR51132 VSB/QAM Frontend)...

    echoed on the cli, those that don't work are silent.

    The complete section from the messages file is:

    Now, from a 2.6.15-rc2-git6 + cvs boot that doesn't work:

    Nov 28 23:15:25 coyote kernel: DVB: registering frontend 0 (Oren OR51132
    VSB/QAM Frontend)...

    Which *looks* the same to me, but it doesn't work. Those last 2 lines
    that are normally echoed to the cli, are not with the newer code
    although they are in the messages log.

    Yes of course. I need to do some housekeeping in my grub.conf though,
    I'm currently up to 24 entries. :) So stuff before 2.6.14 is about to
    go away.
