Do you have your /usr/src/linux symlink pointing to the correct  
source directory, and did you run "makemenuconfig" from that  
directory  ??

You could rmmod the module with a line in rc.local (if your distro  
runs that way). I'm not really sure that it is causing me problems  
though, azap gives me proper results and I can play the stream with  
mplayer, I just get "too many packet" errors and azap loses lock at  
times while playing, but never otherwise.

It looks to me as if I have both an analog and a digital source for  
the hd3000 card (/dev/ideox and /dev/dvb/adapterx), which everyone  
seems to say you can't do.

But too many other things to work out, getting the hd card working is  
a low priority right now, as I have 3 other cap cards working OK.

But on the original subject here, a very careful reading of your  
bootup messages should reveal which card is which.
