"m" means that is is compiled as an external module. "y" means that it is built into the kernel itself.
Both of them means pretty much the same thing: you are compiling the driver(s) for pcHDTV 3k and 2k with this kernel.
As long as you did not hand edit the .config file, you should be fine. At this point, the only thing left is to copy the firmware files into the appropriate folder (and boot with this kernel).
If you are not sure where to copy the firmware, search these forums. That varies by distribution.

On Kernels: modules and built-in |

Hi PSzalapski,
Here's a fairly good explanation of using modules in a linux kernel:
| Code: | | http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-adv/kernel.htm |
The linux home networking site has some pretty good documentation on a variety of topics.
The quick and dirty explanation of the difference between modules and built-in code is that modules are built (i.e. compiled) but not loaded into your kernel until you issue a modprobe command. If you choose to have a feature built into your kernel, then the size of your kernel increases, but you have the feature all ready to go in your kernel.
For example consider a video driver. If you have an ATI graphics card in your machine, you'll probably choose to have the feature "built-in" to your kernel. But, if you later decide to buy the slick new nVidia video card, you'll have to rebuild your kernel and reboot your machine to use the new driver. If you had instead made the ATI driver a module, you could have unloaded the ATI driver, compiled the nVidia driver and loaded it up without rebooting your machine.

OK, thanks that helps a lot--confirms most of what I already thought I knew. One thing still isn't clear--a kernel module needs to be specified in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 in order to be used, correct? So if a kernel module isn't listed in that file, it cannot be used?
(whereas a built-in kernel driver won't be specified in that file)

Kernel 2.6.12-rc4 seems to have a glitch |

rc3 works fine for me but the attempt to use rc4 dies at this error.
drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x8fb34): In function `dvb_register':
: undefined reference to `cx22702_attach'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
To get it to compile I have to go into video for Linux and unselect Conexant and DVB support
( some settings from my config file )
<*> Video For Linux
> Conexant 2388x (bt878 successor) support │ │
│ │ <*> DVB Support for cx2388x based TV cards
│[*] DVB For Linux │ │
│ │<*> DVB Core Support
--- OR51132 based (pcHDTV)
Anyone else have luck with it and a 3000 series card ?

I'm having a problems with 2.6.12-rc4 and mythtv. dvb-apps are working fine ie) azap -r WCSC + cat /dev/dvb/adapter0>>test.mpg works.
I'm getting "could not get card info for card#0" message when trying to setup PC 3000 under mythtv. I just had this working over the weekend using 2.6.12-rc3. Anybody got any ideas?
I'm running gentoo linux:
2.6.12-rc4 vanilla-sources kenel and myth-0.18
USE flags = "gtk gtk2 qt kde dvd alsa cdr dvb mythtv mysql apache2 usb lirc ieee1394" |

OK, I'm back at trying to get myself set up. I've moved and have the linux box connected to the internet. I began following the instructions below:
| Code: |
# Download the firmware
mkdir -p /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
cd /usr/lib/hotplug
wget http://pchdtv.com/downloads/firmware.tar.gz
tar zxf firmware.tar.gz
rm -f firmware.tar.gz
# Download and install the kernel
mkdir -p /usr/src/download/kernel
cd /usr/src/download/kernel
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.11.tar.bz2
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.12-rc2.bz2
tar jxf linux-2.6.11.tar.bz2
mv linux-2.6.11 linux-2.6.12-rc2
cd linux-2.6.12-rc2
wget http://freepages.iqsystems.net/~ikhan/linux/linux-2.6.12-rc2.config
mv linux-2.6.12-rc2.config .config
cat ../patch-2.6.12-rc2.bz2 | bunzip2 | patch -p1
chown -R root.root .
make rpm
echo The following rpms have been produced by the script . . .
ls -al /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.12*.rpm
ls -al /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/kernel-2.6.12*.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
echo Installing OS Kernel `ls kernel-2.6.12*.rpm | sort | tail -n 1` . . .
# rpm -ivh `ls kernel-2.6.12*.rpm | sort | tail -n 1` |
I did change 2.6.12-rc2 to 2.6.12-rc4. When I got to:
| Code: |
wget http://freepages.iqsystems.net/~ikhan/linux/linux-2.6.12-rc2.config
|
I get:

Okay, that is my bad. 
We had a "problem" with our primary hosting server. Being the pariod self that I am, simply got rid of EVERYTHING and decided to just redo everything from scratch.
Everything automatically routed to the backup site. However, certain improvements that were just for me were not implemented to the failover site.

Got to here and not sure if I did the install right.
| Code: |
echo Installing OS Kernel `ls kernel-2.6.12*.rpm | sort | tail -n 1` . . .
# rpm -ivh `ls kernel-2.6.12*.rpm | sort | tail -n 1`
|
Is this all one command? My results looked like:
linux:/usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386 # echo Installing OS Kernel `ls kernel-2.6.12*.rpm | sort | tail -n 1` . . .
Installing OS Kernel kernel-2.6.12rc2-1.i386.rpm . . .
linux:/usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386 # rpm -ivh `ls kernel-2.6.12*.rpm |sort | tail -n 1`
Preparing...########################################### [100%]
1:kernel########################################### [100%]
I do not see any new kernels in /usr/src. Do rpms place the kernel images the same way?

Okay,
I am such an idiot! 
We had isp level problems and had to move around the servers from primary to secoundary site. While all customer sites got moved, I always forget to move my pesonal stuff.
It is back there in the temporary location. Sorry about the confusion.

ggmorton,
The output is clearly showing that you are mixing and matching drivers.
Just to be clear: If you install linux kernel 2.6.12-rc2 or higher, do not install any drirvers or any other software from pchdtv's website, period.
No downloading driver, no udev, no modifcations. Nothing.
The pchdtv driver and the kernel driver cannot co-exist.
If you have installed the driver from pchdtv's website, please uninstall it properly. Make sure that all the other changes it made (such as hotplug and udev) are back to the way it was shipped by your vendor.
After the above step is completed:
1) Download and extract the firmware from pchdtv's website into the appropriate firmware folder for your distribution.
2) Compile and install a fresh new kernel (2.6.12-rc2 or higher).
3) Reboot (into the newly compiled kernel).
The key to success is not to over think the process. Just stick to the three steps above and don't perform any unnecessary steps.
Also, the following line will confirm that you have the driver set to be compiled.
| Code: | # grep OR51 .config
CONFIG_DVB_OR51132=m
CONFIG_DVB_OR51211=m |

I did not install anything from pchdtv's website. Just vanila 2.6.12-rc5 kernel. I did get it working last night, but my dmesg is still showing the same info. I had patched rc5 over 2.6.11 as a previous script showed. Last night I installed just 2.6.12-rc5 without patching. |

That may have been my bad. I did not read your output closely enought to see that you are using pcHDTV HD-2000. I simply assumed it was pcHDTV HD-3000. That is why I made that comment.
The dmesg output been 2k and 3k cards is different. *I believe* that is the correct output for 2k card. However, I don't own that card so I don't really know for certain.
If the card works, why care?
