[mythtv-users] Assistance with Plextor Convertx

[Eric Thelin]

I purchased a plextor convertx px-m402u to use as a second capture
card.  But I haven't been successful in getting a recent linux kernel
to compile the drivers.  I am using Ubuntu Edgy.  Is there anyone who
can assist me in figuring out what the problem is?  Below is the
output the output from my latest compile attempt.

I have installed the 2.6.17 patch.  (wis-go-0.9.8-2.6.17.patch)  And I
have tried a few different kernels with no luck.  I have learned that
2.6.19+ needs more work than others because they removed
linux/config.h.
