[pvrusb2] driver oops [was: An Apology to the list]

Fri May 14 09:38:04 CDT 2010

I understand about keeping a vanilla system.  I don't have access to
my USB or I would boot Ubuntu, but I have a package called
kernel-headers on fedora that must be loaded to compile extra modules.
 Does Ubuntu have a package like that and if so, do you have it
installed?

In Ubuntu I think it might be linux-headers, at least that is what it
is on a Ubuntu 8.x system that I have ready access to.

You might verify that you have installed linux-headers using apt-get
on Ubuntu.  That should be the required headers.
