Hi all,

I have a folder with the following compiled modules for my Technotrend 3650 DVB device.

Code:
dvb-core.ko

dvb-core.mod.c

dvb-core.mod.o

dvb-usb-pctv452e.ko

dvb-usb-pctv452e.mod.c

When I do 'insmod <module name>' the are loaded and my device is working but how can I add them to the kernel so they are loaded automatically?
The modules are now just in a folder in my root.

Can some post a little guide how to add them to the kernel?

Many thanks!

The best way is to install it to /lib/modules/xxxx/... (xxxx = kernel-version)
download the linux-dvb extract it and run make when its done run make install
this will compile all the modules in linux-dvb it might take hours. You can compile only needed modules too, but i'm not that good at that.

I think for that you need to run make xconfig or make menuconfig and select only modules needed and it dependency.

or do this to create minimal config
cd v4l
create a file called .config and paste this to it and save it.

Code:
CONFIG_INPUT=y

CONFIG_USB=y

CONFIG_PARPORT=m

CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m

CONFIG_NET=y

CONFIG_SND_AC97_CODEC=m

CONFIG_I2C=m

CONFIG_STANDALONE=y

CONFIG_SND_MPU401_UART=m

CONFIG_SND=m

CONFIG_MODULES=y

CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM=y

CONFIG_PROC_FS=y

CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT=m

CONFIG_INET=y

CONFIG_CRC32=m

CONFIG_FB=y

CONFIG_SYSFS=y

CONFIG_PCI=y

CONFIG_SND_PCM=m

CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y

CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y

CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS=y

CONFIG_DVB_CORE=m

CONFIG_DVB_CAPTURE_DRIVERS=y

CONFIG_DVB_USB=m

CONFIG_DVB_USB_PCTV452E=m

CONFIG_DVB_STB0899=m

CONFIG_DVB_STB6100=m

CONFIG_DVB_LNBP22=m

CONFIG_TTPCI_EEPROM=m

this will only take couple of minutes to compile if modules are missing run make menuconfig to add or manually edit .config file if you know its name, but i i thinks this will do.

If this is to complicated you can always do this.
edit /etc/rc.local add this to it and save it. This will load this modules at boot.
(xxxx = location to the modules)

Code:
insmod xxxx/dvb-core.ko

insmod xxxx/dvb-usb.ko

insmod xxxx/lnbp22.ko

insmod xxxx/ttpci-eeprom.ko

insmod xxxx/stb0899.ko

insmod xxxx/stb6100.ko

insmod xxxx/dvb-usb-pctv452e.ko

I'm gonna try it!
Many thanks Decaturguy!
