I always rmmod the old module before trying to install the new one. (I think) the old module image hangs around in the kernel if you just 'make install' without rmmoding all the related modules, and the new files don't take. Best to use a script to do this. 1. rmmod all related modules: saa7134 tuner ... 2. make install 3. insmod saa7134 Also, after playing around with GPIO lines over and over, the card can get into a 'stuck' state where only a cold reboot (poweroff, wait for 1-2 minutes, reboot) can reset it. I've found that sometimes, even that doesn't work and I had to take the card out of the PCI slot. (Don't ask me why, I don't know myself).
