Hello everybody I am a linux noob trying to build a pvr with a compro VideoMate dvb-t300 tuner card, but have hit a wall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. So far I have: - installed gentoo 2.6.11 - patched kernel source with v4l2 latest patch from bytesex(http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/2.6.11-rc4-2/All-2.6.11-rc4.diff.gz) - recompiled kernel and set up alternate boot to the new kernel - used make menuconfig to add "Phillips SAA7134 support" and "DVB Support for saa7134 based TV cards" as kernel modules - ran "make modules" and "make modules_install" to load the modules now i believe this has all worked based on the following: tv linux # modprobe -l | grep saa /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r9-akc-kraxel2/kernel/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134.ko /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r9-akc-kraxel2/kernel/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134-empress.ko /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r9-akc-kraxel2/kernel/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134-dvb.ko /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r9-akc-kraxel2/kernel/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa6752hs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r9-akc-kraxel2/kernel/drivers/media/video/saa7111.ko /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r9-akc-kraxel2/kernel/drivers/media/common/saa7146_vv.ko /lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r9-akc-kraxel2/kernel/drivers/media/common/saa7146.ko however, from my reading of the saa7134 driver install instructions i may need to specify a card number and tuner for parameters (eg modprobe saa7134 card=x tuner=y). However, my card is not listed in the known card types and i have been unable to determine the tuner type yet. when i "rmmod saa7134" then "modprobe saa7134" i get the following dmesg output: saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.12 loaded ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:08.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 saa7134[0]: quirk: PCIPCI_NATOMA saa7134[0]: found at 0000:00:08.0, rev: 1, irq: 11, latency: 64, mmio: 0xe9101000 saa7134[0]: subsystem: 185b:c900, board: UNKNOWN/GENERIC [card=0,autodetected] saa7134[0]: board init: gpio is 841f00 tuner 0-0068: chip found @ 0xd0 (saa7134[0]) saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 00: 5b 18 00 c9 54 20 1c 00 43 43 a9 1c 55 d2 b2 92 saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 10: 00 ff 86 0f ff 20 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 20: 01 40 01 03 03 ff 03 01 08 ff 00 87 ff ff ff ff saa7134[0]: i2c eeprom 30: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7134[0]: registered device video0 [v4l2] saa7134[0]: registered device vbi0 saa7134[0]/audio: audio carrier scan failed, using 5.500 MHz [default] I have tried by trial and error enteing every existing card number specified in the saa7134 driver doco with no success. I get variations on the above dmesg output but never do I get any recognition of a dvb device, and i certainly never get a dvb device in /dev/ I have run out of things to do. The only thing I can think of is to recompile the kernel modules with a earlier (stable?) v4l2 patch but now that I have patched my source am i unable to unpatch it so i can apply a different patch? (i think i may have learnt a lesson here). Anyway, thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have. I have learnt a heap from going throught the Gentoo install process but obviously have a ways to go. anthony -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
