Cheers mates. Although I understand quite nada of what you're discussing I thought I chime in and give you an example of what I'm struggling with.

At 'make modules' I get loads of these:

CC [M] drivers/media/common/saa7146_i2c.o
drivers/media/common/saa7146_i2c.c: In function 'saa7146_i2c_adapter_prepare':
drivers/media/common/saa7146_i2c.c:410: error: 'I2C_HW_SAA7146' undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/media/common/saa7146_i2c.c:410: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

make[2]: *** [drivers/media/common] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/media] Error 2

.............

My problem is I need to install the Philips SAA713x type TV card, so I got to keep it in the xconfig.

Any ideas how to fix this?

cheers

Here's more errors:

there were hundreds of these during my last attempt!)


Or this one at 'make modules_install':

WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.12-12mdkcustom/kernel/3rdparty/mod_marvel/mga_core.ko needs unknown symbol matroxfb_register_driver

All I need to do is just install one little TV card...
