I've just started from scratch installing Fedora Core 4 in my HTPC. I previously had FC3 going in the box, but ... well, that's a story for another time. I can't figure why there's no /dev/dvb devices for my AvertTV 771 card. The bttv module loads just fine: # dmesg |grep bttv bttv: driver version 0.9.15 loaded bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture bttv: Bt8xx card found (0). bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:00:0b.0, irq: 11, latency: 32, mmio: 0xee001000 bttv0: detected: AVermedia AverTV DVB-T 771 [card=123], PCI subsystem ID is 1461:0771 bttv0: using: Euresys Picolo Tetra [card=121,insmod option] bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=0095008f [init] bttv0: using tuner=0 bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9887 @ 0x86... not found bttv0: registered device video0 bttv0: registered device vbi0 bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 .. ok and I can load the other modules mentioned in the AverMedia PDF (these lines are in my /etc/rc.local for want of a better place): modprobe mt352 modprobe dvb-bt8xx Resulting in the following modules loaded: Module Size Used by dvb_bt8xx 12869 0 nxt6000 7493 1 dvb_bt8xx sp887x 7493 1 dvb_bt8xx dst_ca 16961 1 dvb_bt8xx dst 18757 2 dvb_bt8xx,dst_ca dvb_core 92777 2 dvb_bt8xx,dst_ca cx24110 7749 1 dvb_bt8xx or51211 9669 1 dvb_bt8xx mt352 6597 1 dvb_bt8xx parport_pc 29189 1 lp 13129 0 parport 40969 2 parport_pc,lp autofs4 29637 2 rfcomm 42589 0 l2cap 30916 5 rfcomm bluetooth 56517 4 rfcomm,l2cap sunrpc 168453 1 xfs 594705 1 exportfs 9025 1 xfs dm_mod 58613 0 video 16069 0 button 4161 0 battery 9541 0 ac 4933 0 nvidia 3716872 12 md5 4161 1 ipv6 268865 10 ohci1394 41609 0 ieee1394 305081 1 ohci1394 uhci_hcd 35281 0 ehci_hcd 41165 0 bt878 10585 2 dvb_bt8xx,dst shpchp 94661 0 i2c_viapro 8273 0 lirc_gpio 9008 0 tuner 27377 0 bttv 162033 3 dvb_bt8xx,bt878,lirc_gpio video_buf 24005 1 bttv i2c_algo_bit 9417 1 bttv v4l2_common 5953 1 bttv btcx_risc 5065 1 bttv tveeprom 13273 1 bttv i2c_core 21825 12 dvb_bt8xx,nxt6000,sp887x,dst,cx24110,or51211,mt352,i2c_viapro,tuner,bttv,i2c_algo_bit,tveepro m videodev 9793 1 bttv lirc_dev 13508 1 lirc_gpio snd_via82xx 27584 1 gameport 18761 1 snd_via82xx snd_ac97_codec 77820 1 snd_via82xx snd_seq_dummy 3204 0 snd_seq_oss 37120 0 snd_seq_midi_event 7936 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 60688 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_pcm_oss 49312 0 snd_mixer_oss 17024 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 96776 4 snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 31492 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 7940 2 snd_via82xx,snd_pcm snd_mpu401_uart 9088 1 snd_via82xx snd_rawmidi 27936 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 8204 4 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi snd 53892 13 snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pc m,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 11169 1 snd via_rhine 28361 0 mii 5569 1 via_rhine ext3 132681 2 jbd 86233 1 ext3 sata_via 8517 4 libata 47301 1 sata_via sd_mod 20545 5 scsi_mod 147977 2 libata,sd_mod Please help :) Richard
