Eric,

Take a look at this thread.

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/58bd50364a5b47d8/81b8dfdd7bed9d95?q=linux+Pinnacle+PCTV+rave+tuner#81b8dfdd7bed9d95

It looks like there is a patch.  Also, one of the posters said it worked
in 2.6.9.  Do you have a 2.6.9 version of the kernel still around?

BTW:  I don't see why your question was off-topic on the "other list".
