From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040210 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: The driver for the tda1004x DVB frontend (drivers/media/dvb/frontends/tda1004x.c) contains references to a macro DVB_TDA1004X_FIRMWARE_FILE. This is not defined by the config/build process; the macro that actually is defined is CONFIG_DVB_TDA1004X_FIRMWARE_FILE. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.2-1.87smp How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unset CONFIG_STANDALONE and set CONFIG_DVB_TDA1004X=m and CONFIG_DVB_TDA1004X_FIRMWARE_FILE=/some/path/to/firmware in your .config (e.g. make xconfig; unset option to ignore drivers requiring firmware; go to DVB section and enable tda1004x frontend) 2. Make, install and load tda1004x driver Actual Results: dmesg shows that the driver has been unable to load firmware from "/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/tda1004x.mc"; it has ignored whatever path you defined and used its default instead Expected Results: Driver should load firmware from /some/path/to/firmware Additional info:
