I upgraded from FC4 to FC5, and updated everything to latest immediately. After that I have no DVB in my machine anymore. It's been working fine at least a year in FC4. I also tried compiling vanilla linux 2.16.2 with make oldconfig using config-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 from FC5 kernel. Also tried config-2.6.16-1.2069_FC4 kernel from FC4. No luck. I have two such cards installed [1]. Kernel modules for the card get loaded [5]. But for some reason the devices won't appear into /dev, udev doesn't create them. I created them manually [2] with makedev.napi script, but still programs fail to open cards [3]. My kernel is tainted by nvidia kernel module, but tried also without it, same thing. One suspicious thing is some weird i2c error [4]. Could this be the source of the problem, and what to do about it? Any ideas how to get my recording box [6] back alive? - ikke [1] ============== $ sudo scandvb /usr/share/dvb-apps/dvb-c/fi-htv scanning /usr/share/dvb-apps/dvb-c/fi-htv using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' main:1882: FATAL: failed to open '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0': 19 No such device ============== [2] ============== $ ls -la /dev/dvb/adapter[01]/ /dev/dvb/adapter0/: total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 200 Apr 10 06:21 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 120 Apr 10 06:21 .. crw-rw---- 1 johnsmith multimedia 212, 1 Apr 10 06:21 audio0 crw-rw---- 1 johnsmith multimedia 212, 6 Apr 10 06:21 ca0 crw-rw---- 1 johnsmith multimedia 212, 4 Apr 10 06:21 demux0 crw-rw---- 1 johnsmith multimedia 212, 5 Apr 10 06:21 dvr0 crw-rw---- 1 johnsmith multimedia 212, 3 Apr 10 06:21 frontend0 crw-rw---- 1 johnsmith multimedia 212, 7 Apr 10 06:21 net0 crw-rw---- 1 johnsmith multimedia 212, 8 Apr 10 06:21 osd0 crw-rw---- 1 johnsmith multimedia 212, 0 Apr 10 06:21 video0 /dev/dvb/adapter1/: total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 200 Apr 10 06:21 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 120 Apr 10 06:21 .. crw-rw---- 1 johnsmith multimedia 212, 65 Apr 10 06:21 audio0 crw-rw---- 1 johnsmith multimedia 212, 70 Apr 10 06:21 ca0 crw-rw---- 1 johnsmith multimedia 212, 68 Apr 10 06:21 demux0 crw-rw---- 1 johnsmith multimedia 212, 69 Apr 10 06:21 dvr0 crw-rw---- 1 johnsmith multimedia 212, 67 Apr 10 06:21 frontend0 crw-rw---- 1 johnsmith multimedia 212, 71 Apr 10 06:21 net0 crw-rw---- 1 johnsmith multimedia 212, 72 Apr 10 06:21 osd0 crw-rw---- 1 johnsmith multimedia 212, 64 Apr 10 06:21 video0 ============== [3] ============== $ lspci -vv 00:0b.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01) Subsystem: TERRATEC Electronic GmbH Unknown device 1156 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 32 (3750ns min, 9500ns max) Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 20 Region 0: Memory at ec002000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512] 00:0c.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01) Subsystem: TERRATEC Electronic GmbH Unknown device 1156 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 32 (3750ns min, 9500ns max) Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 20 Region 0: Memory at ec003000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512] ============== [4] ============== Apr 10 06:21:34 localhost kernel: nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.Apr 10 06:21:34 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 Apr 10 06:21:34 localhost kernel: NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 Kernel Module 1.0-8756 Wed Mar 29 14:26:26 PST 2006 Apr 10 06:21:34 localhost kernel: stradis 0000:00:0b.0: 0: SDM2xx found Apr 10 06:21:34 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0b.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 Apr 10 06:21:34 localhost kernel: videodev: "SAA7146A" has no release callback.
