The OS recognizes the chip as an SAA7134 but I cannot get it to work. When loading the driver without options, dmesg tells me that my card does not contain an eeprom which can identify it, and that I have to specify what card and tuner type it is as options. From reading your web sites I have come to the conclusion that the stock driver that comes with Fedora Core 4 does not support my card. I believe it is a Sedna/MuchTV PC TV Cardbus TV/Radio (this is listed as card #79 on your list). However, my current driver only lists 51 card types. Can I simply upgrade the saa7134 driver, or do I have to upgrade the kernel as well? I have never upgraded a Linux kernel before, and am a bit apprehensive about doing it. Is there a substitute card type supported by my driver which will work, or must I upgrade the!

Hi,

if not already there, try "yum install kernel-devel" and else follow
Hartmut's advice, but you don't need the full source.

After the v4l/dvb merge the problems with missing or out of sync headers
within the FC exported object tree have gone.

There seem to be upcoming compatibility issues, seen on 2.6.16x,
concerning a installed videodev.ko from mercurial and previously built
modules like ov511 or snd-tea575x of snd-fm801 from the original kernel
built videodev.ko, since they are not rebuild against mercurial.

Cheers,
Hermann
