You are right. I checked my Kernel-Config and found that even though
CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMISE was not set, CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_TDA8290
did not get compiled (or probably more accurate: The compiled module
did not load - did not check that).
Having this part compiled as well I actually get a step further:

[...]
pvrusb2: Device initialization completed successfully.
pvrusb2: registered device video0 [mpeg]
cx25840 0-0044: firmware: requesting v4l-cx25840.fw
cx25840 0-0044: loaded v4l-cx25840.fw firmware (16382 bytes)
tda829x 0-0042: setting tuner address to 60

tda829x 0-0042: type set to tda8295+18271
usb 1-1: firmware: requesting v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw

Sadly, this is where it stops. There is no error-message for what
might happen after the file get requested. Looks like I will have to
compile debug-output into the Kernel to get a deeper insight? The
Firmware-Files however are in place:

# ls /lib/firmware/
v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw    v4l-cx25840.fw           v4l-pvrusb2-73xxx-01.fw
v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw    v4l-pvrusb2-24xxx-01.fw
v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg  v4l-pvrusb2-29xxx-01.fw

Oh, by the way. I am targeting the same hardware (SheevaPlug) as
Charles back in June. However, he sticked with Ubuntu as OS whereas I
use Debian (Squeeze).
