Apologies if this
list is not the correct place for troubleshooting. If it is not, please
let me know and I'll redirect my queries elsewhere.
I'm having a lot of
trouble getting my DViCo Fusion DVB-T Plus loaded properly. It
appears to be the 1.1 revision (the chip ends with a -39 rather than a -19,
which I believe is the indicator). The card is detected; lspci gives
correct information about the card, and /dev/v4l/video0 and vbi0 exist.
The problem is that /dev/dvb/ is not getting created.
While I'm not a
linux newbie, I am very green when it comes to manually configuring hardware
drivers and the like. I've tried to follow Chris Pascoe's instructions
here ( http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~chrisp/Linux-DVB/DVICO/ ),
but to be honest I'm a bit overwhelmed.
Here's the
relevant excerpt of my kernel .config:

I've left out a few bits in these sections that were
irrelevant or entirely not set. I'm not really sure what I need
to be loading here, so I've probably left out something important, and I've
almost certainly compiled in options that I don't need.
After building my kernel, I extracted this tar ( http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pascoe/v4l-dvb?ca=cec41e698b97;type=bz2 ) from
Pascoe's site and, as advised, followed the instructions on this page ( http://www.linuxtv.org/repo/#build ).
The make section seems to work correctly, but I get several errors during the
make install section. The last one is:
install:
cannot stat 'dvb-firesat.ko' : No such file or
directory
make:
[dvb-install] Error 1 (ignored)
/sbin/depmod
-a 2.6.16-gentoo-r9
When I reboot, the card is still not
detected. I've tried to run this installer and then recompile the
kernel, with no joy.
What I would
really like is a concise set of instructions for the procedures required to get
the new revision of this card to work under 2.6.16. The instruction on
Chris Pascoe's site seem to assume that the user has more knowledge with this
kind of thing than I do. On top of that, it seems that many of the
instructions are apparently no longer required, but I'm not entirely sure which
ones.
If anyone has
any pointers or tips (or, ideally, a full-blown walkthrough :P), please let
me know. I'm happy to provide more information (lspci/dmesg output, etc)
if required.
Regards,
Samuel
