No, not since back at about 2.6.4 or so when I needed the ieee1394
stuff.  This is a 2.6.14, with the 2.6.15-rc2 patch applied straight
out of the box.

Well, I just went thru it again, and turned off everything but the
cx8800 and ORv51132 stuffs, and now I get this at the and of the
'makeit' script I use here:

WARNING:

So that definitely was a non-no.  That .config is also attached.

The first thing my makeit script does is a make clean.  So it should be
self-cleaning in that scenario.

My buildit26 script also starts everything from scratch, moving old
base version trees out of the way until the new one can be renamed
properly.  But theres nothing in it precious, so I can nuke 2.6.15-rc2
and retry again.  This time makeing no adjustments to the make xconfig
it finishes up with.  So that build from scratch is underway.

And I note that when its going thru the make oldconfig, that nxt2002 is
set as a module, however it is not now loaded into 2.6.14.2, and tvtime
works ok without it, so somehow its getting turned on.  Humm, grepping
the .config in the 2.6.14.2 tree shows that it is set as a module.  So
thats where that came from.  Not sure why I turned it on in the first
place, scratching aching head. (I've got a cold, good thing you can't
catch this virus by email :)

And, I just noticed this go by during the compile of the modules:
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST
*** Warning: "nxt200x_attach" [drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-dvb.ko]
undefined!

It was probably there all the time and I just missed it as its many
pages back up in the history.  The depmod at the end of the compile
also reports this again:
WARNING:
/lib/modules/2.6.15-rc2/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-dvb.ko
needs unknown symbol nxt200x_attach

Looks like the magnifying glass needs to come out.
