Jim, Thanks very much for the excellent advice. The frontend is now recognized correctly. I don't know if I broke something during the upgrade process, but when I boot the new kernel, and try to do anything involving TCP access (ftp, wget, browsing the internet...) I get a "permission denied" error. I even tried logging in as 'root' and it does exactly the same thing. Is there anything obvious I'm missing? -Christiaan -----Original Message----- From: linux-dvb-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-dvb-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Jowski Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2005 8:40 PM To: linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [linux-dvb] TwinHan 1030a Adapter Christiaan Brand wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I've been searching through archives on the internet for the past two > days, and have only found one other mention of someone who had EXACTLY > the same problem that I'm having.

Get the 2.6.12 kernel from kernel.org and accept no substitutes. Only 2.6.12 without any rev numbers on the end. This is the link: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.12.tar.bz2 2. Compile it. 3. Check the numbers on your /dev/dvb/adapter0 goodies. If they're not 212, run the includeded MAKEDEV-DVB.sh script. 4. Make sure the line "options bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x71" is in /etc/modprobe.conf. 5. When loading the modules use 'modprobe dst' followed by 'modprobe dvb-bt8xx'. With any luck at all, you'll have more hair than I did after it's all said and done. This should work. If it does, you can play with using the CSV on linuxtv.org and maybe the patches to bring your kernel up to current but it's only 15 days old. That's still newer than anything Micro$haft puts out. :^) Jim ========MAKEDEV-DVB.sh follows============== =====please stay back 500 feet for your own safety====== #!/bin/sh # Create device nodes for the Linux DVB API with DVB_API_VERSION 2. # The devices created are suitable for most current PC DVB cards, # i.e. cards having one frontend, one demux and optionally one # MPEG decoder. # The script creates devices for four cards by default. if [ -e /dev/.devfsd ]; then echo "It seems you are using devfs.
