hi, i'm trying to get working my new dvb-s technisat skystar-USB box in my 667mhz macintosh powerbook G4, using the last Mandriva-Linux-2005- Limited-Edition distro for ppc with 2.6.13-rc5 custom made kernel. Unfortunately, after several days of trials i'm still running into trouble, the reason that's why i claim some helps and advices from the linuxtv community : I downloaded from CVS the "dvb-kernel" dir in "/usr/src/", made a "DVB" symlink pointing to "/usr/src/dvb-kernel" in "/usr/local/src", then : # cd /usr/local/src/DVB # ln -s linux/include include # cd DVB/build-2.6 # make the compil process goes on without problems...and i'm using devfs so no need for ./MAKEDEV-DVB.sh to install card services. Now : # cd /usr/local/src/DVB/build-2.6 # ./insmod.sh load Inserting DVB modules into kernel FATAL: Module i2c-core not found. FATAL: Module crc32 not found. insmod: error inserting './dvb-usb-digitv.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module [root@localhost build-2.6]# despite the message above , modules seems to load correctly. At this moment if i power on my flexcop based skystar device and plug it into the usb port of my laptop, the sytem fails to probe it with success as indicated in "/var/log/messages" : # tail /var/log/messages Aug 17 18:12:40 localhost kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3 Aug 17 18:12:40 localhost kernel: flexcop_usb: running at FULL speed. Aug 17 18:12:40 localhost kernel: b2c2-flexcop: unkown FlexCop Revision: 8. Please report the linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxxx Aug 17 18:12:40 localhost kernel: DVB: registering new adapter (FlexCop DigitalTV device).

Aug 17 18:12:41 localhost kernel: b2c2_flexcop_usb: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -90 [root@localhost root]# Anyway, to be definitely sure , i decided to scan a transponder with the "scan" utility : [root@localhost root]# cd /usr/src/linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0/util/scan [root@localhost scan]# ./scan -s 2 dvb-s/Nilesat-7.0W | tee mychannels.conf scanning dvb-s/Nilesat-7.0W using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' main:1882: FATAL: failed to open '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0': 2 No such file or directory [root@localhost scan]# It's clear that the device refused to work, although the modules were loaded correctly. I suspect but i'm not sure that technisat has changed somehow the hardware in this newest revision of the model, or may be i forget some patches to apply to the dvb driver...I would be pleased if someone can help me to found the origin of my troubles. If needed , i can provide you with further informations like "lsmod", "lspci -v", "dmesg", content of ".config" in "/usr/src/linux"... They take so much space, so i prefer to omit them for this first mail. Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
