V4L-DVB modules not loading

V4L-DVB modules not loading

[Stacey]

Sorry, I don't know who to send this to. Not sure if it is a bug or not.

I followed your very helpful tutorial perfectly:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers 
  but it hasn't quite worked.

I've built the module okay. It installed correctly and copied the files
into /lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb.
After that I rebooted (since it was easier for me). Then I got to the
"If the Modules load correctly" section to find that nothing has worked
at all.

I've checked my system log and it's recognising the USB device when I
enter it but it isn't doing anything with it. The tutorial says you
should be able to see the modules in /proc/modules but the modules
folder doesn't even exist. The /dev/dvb/ folder has not been created
either.

I have a EyeTV Diversity and have the antenna plugged in.

I will provide as much information as you need. I really want to get
this working. :)

Thanks

Could you post the output of dmesg (just run the command 'dmesg' from a 
terminal) to the list, that should give us an idea of what is going on. 
You might want to do this after a clean reboot (with the adapter plugged 
in) so that there isn't too much information to wade through.
