Problem installing DVB driver under SuSE Linux 8.0

[Richard Folwell]

DVB driver appears to build OK - a few warnings but no errors.  The
failure occurs in "make insmod", with a large number of unresolved
symbols.  Console output below.  Do I need to uninstall the modules that
already exist prior to running this?  Or is the problem that the kernel
sources do not match the kernel I am running?  

I have not rebuilt the kernel after installing.  I did have to change
the kernel from that which the SuSE installation thought I should use -
it chose a very large memory multi-processor kernel that caused other
problems.  How do I ensure that the sources and kernel in use actually
match?

I do not understand the implications of, "Note that the configuration of
the driver sources also has to match that of the kernel you are
running", in the DVB driver installation instructions.

TIA,

Richard
