All,
We are currently working on having a skystar2 running on a kernel 2.4.20
(redhat 8)
Skystar version is 2.6c.
The problem we encounter is the following: the dvb drivers available are
for kernel < 2.4.19 or kernel >= 2.4.23.
There is no kernel update from redhat for version greater than 2.4.20.
>From what we understood, contraints on kernel version are due to
video4linux. Our goal is to do network only with no mpeg2.
Here is the procedure we have tried:
* checkout from cvs: cvs -z3 -d
:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvs/linuxtv co -rlinux_2_4 dvb-kernel
* executing MAKEDEV.sh
* compile the dvb drivers:
make in folder build-2.4. There does not seem to have errors
* make install
* load, manually dvb drivers in the following order:
insmod.sh load
In /var/log/message, we see a line saying that card was found and
frontend 0:0 is registered (from /var/log/messages)
But when launching szap, we get a /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0:
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
opening frontend failed: No such device
Moreover, it is very unstable: when we try to unload drivers (rmmod),
the machine froze.
Any idea ?
If none, did anyone has perform such a setup and could give us a
procedure to follow ?
Any help would be very appreciated !! ;)
Thanks in advance
Boris
