Re: 2.6.24 kernel and MSI TV @nywheremaster MS-8606 status

Hi, Hermann.

Yea I have seen changes. But the question is about: How to build fresh v4l 
(with MSI patches)  for 2.6.24 ?

With this procedure it does not work:

1) cd /usr/src/linux   ; kernel 2.6.24.3 srs
2) mkdir v4lnew
3) cd ./v4lnew
4) hg init
5)  hg pull http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
6) make
7) make install

As result I've got working modules BUT module tuner, as I  mentioned in 
previous message, does not have any! of important parameters: port1, port2, 
qss.

Did something change? What is exect procedure of building v4l for new 
2.6.24.3 kernel?

Last time Mauro created this one repository for 2.6.23 
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mchehab/fm8606 and archieved one: 
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mchehab/fm8606/archive/tip.tar.bz2.

Is it possible to make the same for 2.6.24? or just make it clear - what 
should be do for building new v4l with patches under 2.6.24.3 vanila kernel?

Rgs,
    Serge.
