Bernd,
I was finally able to finish the kernel configure, build, and installation
process. After updating grub I booted into the kernel and I get this error:
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
I get that without initrd. After making initrd and booting with it I get
this error:
Modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lb/modules/2.6.8/modules.dep : No such file
or directory
Here is my /boot/grub/menu.lst
# this is the kernel I compilied
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda1 ro
#initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8
savedefault
boot
# this is the kernel debian installed
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-386
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-2-386
savedefault
boot
I hope I've given you enough information to help me out because I can not
wait to start acquiring data with this card.
Thanks,
Eric

Just switch off the DRM with "make menuconfig". Seems to be a bug in there.
