saa716x_budget compiled but not loaded on kernel 4.18.0 #158

Closed michael-robrecht closed 5 years ago

Hi there,

I am not able to install the saa716x_budget module on kernel 4.18.0 (tried the latest .17-generic and .16-generic for Ubuntu 18.04.1) but receive an error on modprobe error stating modprobe: FATAL: Module saa716x_budget not found in directory /lib/modules/4.18.0-17-generic

I am just switched from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS on x86_64 and need the driver for my TBS6985 quad tuner card. And no, I do not want to try the closed source drivers as they have not been updated for quite some time.

I configured verified that the following files actually are compiled: (Annotation: I ran ./build and grep'ed all occurrences of "saa716x")

So _saa716xbudget.o actually appears to be built, but later in the process, it is not loaded LD [M] /home/michael/TBS/media_build/v4l/saa716x_core.o LD [M] /home/michael/TBS/media_build/v4l/saa716x_tbs-dvb.o CC /home/michael/TBS/media_build/v4l/saa716x_core.mod.o CC /home/michael/TBS/media_build/v4l/saa716x_hybrid.mod.o CC /home/michael/TBS/media_build/v4l/saa716x_tbs-dvb.mod.o LD [M] /home/michael/TBS/media_build/v4l/saa716x_core.ko LD [M] /home/michael/TBS/media_build/v4l/saa716x_hybrid.ko LD [M] /home/michael/TBS/media_build/v4l/saa716x_tbs-dvb.ko

As it is not loaded, it consequently does not show up in /lib/modules. But why is this? Did I miss something? There have been displayed some warning during the make but none of those relate to saa716x, which compiles nicely.

Thanks for your support

Michael

Note to myself (and to all others trying to find out why this happens)

saa716x_budget is replaced by saa716x_tbs-dvb

I just rebooted my machine and realized that the 4 tuners are available and that the driver is now saa716x_tbd-dvb. So I lost quite some time in watching make doing its job...
