The kernel config file is a totally different thing. And again: you need an initial config file for scan! > > My small box crashes with every kernel config file, I tried under > debian linux.

I remember you have a 2.6.11 kernel running. please try the following: I assume the kernel dvb drivers are installed. - If you have an old base distribution, the dvb device ids might be wrong (/dev/dvb/adapter0/*) They need to be 212 now. - watch the kernel messages (tail -f /var/log/messages) - do a "modprobe firmware-class" - do a "modprobe budget-av" (you might need to load the tda1004x module separately) - do a tzap -c <any valid channels.conf> <station> in the kenel log, the last message is (what i remember by heart) : waiting for firmware upload tzap should give you a continuous log of the channel decoder status Hartmut
