Check if you can make it work with:


sudo modprobe cx88xx card=6
sudo modprobe cx8800

or


sudo modprobe saa7134 card=85
sudo modprobe saa7134 card=85,99

Don't start recompiling your kernel yet.

But, if you cannot even boot with the card inserted, try this:


sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/saa7134

Enter the following line:


options saa7134 card=85,99

Save and reboot. Maybe you'll have to test card card=85 alone or the cx88x module. Looks like yours is going to be the saa7134 module.
