Stefan,

In addition to the downloading instructions above, you will need
kernel headers and the usual gcc, make, etc.  You can limit which
drivers are made by running "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig" and
deselecting options just like compiling kernels.  (xconfig requires
QT3)

Your kernel is new enough to compile the saa7164 module.  I am running
2.6.30.5 myself.

Good luck,
Patrick
