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:

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.
