problem attaching PVR250, error message in log

[Joe Auty]

Okay, here is what I did...

cd /usr/ports/multimedia/pvr250
sudo make deinstall
sudo make clean
sudo make

edited work/dev/cxm/cxm_eeprom.c and added the lines:

case 0x63:
                   tuner_type = CXM_TUNER_TCL_2002N_5H;
                   break;

right before:
                 case 0x55: /* TCL 2002N-6A */
                         tuner_type = CXM_TUNER_TCL_2002N_6A;
                         break;

sudo make patch-iicbb (I'm assuming this is what you meant, make  
patch on its own does nothing)
sudo make install

kldload the kernel...

Still the same error message....

Did I miss something?
