[linux-dvb] Yet another Nova-T cx88 question (FC3, modprobe, depmod, udev, pain)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all!

I'm sorry to have to bother the list with yet another question about
getting the Conexant Nova-T PCI card to work. However, I have tried hard
for several days now and my frustration is rapidly approaching a level
that makes the surroundings suffer :-)

I'm using Fedora Core 3 kernel version 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 and get the
following from /sbin/lsmod:

dmesg:

cx88[0]: subsystem: 0070:9002, board: Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T
[card=18,autodetected]
cx88[0]: hauppauge eeprom: model=90002, tuner=76

cx88[0]/0: registered device vbi0

As far as I can see the listings above are "Good News"(tm) but the thing
is that I don't get any /dev/dvb directory!

Could this be due to not all needed modules being loaded, and in that
case which modules are needed and how do I load them?

Or, as an alternative - could this be one of the udev bugs that I've
been reading about? Any workarounds?

I have tried to run the makedvb.sh script to create the devices by hand
but the devices cannot be opened:

[root@tv1 ~]# . ./makedvb.sh
Creating DVB devices in /dev/dvb/adapter0
Creating DVB devices in /dev/dvb/adapter1
Creating DVB devices in /dev/dvb/adapter2
Creating DVB devices in /dev/dvb/adapter3

[root@tv1 linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0]# util/szap/tzap RTL
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
ERROR: failed opening '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' (No such device or address)

I'm grateful for any and all ideas!

Many thanks in advance!

P.S. I'm somewhat of a noob when it comes to linux so I'd prefer an example
modprobe.conf instead of advice such as "load the correct modules using modprobe" :-)
