I've been a slakware user for almost 9 years and been running the 2.6.10 kernel for a week or so. Now the fun starts. I can 'modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x71' and 'modprobe dvb-bt8xx' and lsmod gives the following: Module Size Used by dvb_bt8xx 8068 0 dvb_core 71464 1 dvb_bt8xx nxt6000 6404 1 dvb_bt8xx mt352 5124 1 dvb_bt8xx dst 12040 1 dvb_bt8xx bt878 8504 2 dvb_bt8xx,dst sp887x 7044 1 dvb_bt8xx tuner 20260 0 bttv 141648 2 dvb_bt8xx,bt878 video_buf 16900 1 bttv firmware_class 7296 3 dvb_bt8xx,sp887x,bttv i2c_algo_bit 8840 1 bttv v4l2_common 4864 1 bttv btcx_risc 3976 1 bttv i2c_core 17680 8 dvb_bt8xx,nxt6000,mt352,dst,sp887x,tuner,bttv,i2c_algo_bit videodev 7296 1 bttv When I try to lock onto a known good signal with szap I get this: './szap -l 5150 -i' reading channels from file '/root/.szap/channels.conf' >>> ank zapping to 1 'ank': sat 0, frequency = 3880 MHz H, symbolrate 25187000, vpid = 0x0110, apid = 0x0111using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' opening frontend failed: No such device or address I looked in the /sys directory and there looks like a recursive linking of drivers to a higher level directory on the bttv branch. That doesn't seem right. :^) I'm at a loss for why the thing won't lock on. Does anyone have a good how-to that I can look at? I've looked at the docs in the /usr/src directory and udev throws me. I'm also betting that this is easier than I'm trying to make is so if I can get the process down to a "Follow this checklist, step by step", I'll post it.
