After much goofing around, I've managed to get a Zoran-based DC10+ video capture
board working with 2.4.20rc4.
Key points:
1) There doesn't seem to be any way to do this with the vanilla kernel. Trying
to compile in all the VFL devices won't compile (there's a problem with the
bttv driver - and unresolved symbol of some sort) and it seems the zoran driver
is dependant on a module called i2c-old that is only built with the bttv driver?
2) Building the current CVS (which doesn't seem to have been altered in months)
for the driver-zoran project from mjpeg.sourceforge.net produced modules that
worked. A brief visual comparison between them and the .c files in the kernel
source didn't reveal any differences more obvious than some kernel version #ifdefs
in the driver-zoran versions of the drivers - they're the same code, or at least
_very_ similar.
3) I had to build the bttv kernel driver as a module to get the i2c-old.o module
built.
4) I then wrote a rc script that did:
modprobe i2c-old
modprobe saa7110
modprobe adv7175
modprobe zoran
and this presented the following dmesg output:
i2c: initialized

DC10plus[0]: interrupts received: GIRQ1:49 queue_state=0/0/0/0
DC10plus[0]: procfs entry /proc/zoran0 allocated. data=e0988600
5) My _guess_ as to what is happening is that:
a) The zoran/DC10+ stuff depends on the i2c-old code
b) It also depends on saa7110 and adv7175
c) When you check the DC10+ option in make config, these dependancies are
not being resolved, and one or more of them don't make it into the kernel when
one attempts to compile DC10+ in monolithic
d) There may be differences between the driver code in the MJPEG CVS and
the current vanilla kernel
6) As such, to get this working should require:
a) Sync up the current MJPEG cvs to the current kernel
b) Ensure that checking DC10+ gets you:
i) i2c-old.o
ii) saa7110.o
iii) adv7175.o
iv) zoran.o
in that order.
Is there someone to carry this forward?
Thanks!
