Hello, i have a system with multiple DVB cards of the same type and want to specify the order of the devices /dev/dvb/adapterX. The device plugged into the physical PCI slot 1 on the mainboard should be assigned to /dev/dvb/adapter0 and the card in PCI slot 2 should be assigned to /dev/dvb/adapter1. To identify a DVB card I looked at the output of udevinfo for 2 DVB devices. The devices don't provide a serial, so the difference is only in the KERNELS parameter (e.g. KERNELS=="0000:02:00.0" vs. KERNELS=="0000:03:00.0"). The Kernels parameter seem to reflect the PCI Bus ID. According to the thread http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.pci/7446/focus=7447 on the linux-pci mailinglist, the PCI Bus ID is *not* deterministic and totally random determined at boot. In the following post http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.pci/7446/focus=7467 there is mentioned that the order of the devices can be specified by using udev rules. But how this can be done? Which information in /sys can be used to determine which DVB device is connected to which specific slot? regards, Andreas Besse -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
