Hello Michel,

Thank you for the mini howto.
I have downloaded the kernel-source and applied the patches you have 
described.
Now when I do a make menuconfig I can select the mantis device driver.
It then has an M in front of it.
The frontends are selected as loadable modules.
I can not change this.

Then I did a make
This went without problems
Now when I do a make modules_install it does not say anything about mantis, 
mb86a16 or cu1216...
When I do a modprobe mantis it gives me:
FATAL: Module mantis not found.

Have you got an idea about what I'm doing wrong?

thanx,
Joep
  

Joep,

Try the following command: find /lib/modules/ -name mantis.ko
This should tell you if the modules have been installed.

If not did you boot the new kernel?
If not please do the following:
Copy the file <path to kernel source tree>/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz-<kernel version> for 32-bit platform or
<path to kernel source tree>/arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz-<kernel version> for 64-bit.

do a: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-<kernel version>.img <kernel version>
for example: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.21.1.img 2.6.21.1

Edit your bootloader config file. For grub on Fedora this is in /boot/grub/grub.conf
Add a new bootloader config part. On Fedora something like:
title Fedora Core (2.6.21.1)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.21.1 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.21.1.img

Reboot your system and when the bootloader appears selected the right kernel to boot.
After the boot check the output for the dmesg command.

Regards,

Michel.

Hello,
I downloaded the mantis file from
http://jusst.de/manu/mantis-v4l-dvb.tar.bz2. and used Marko's patch.
I can watch FTA channels.

The next step is to get my hauppauge 350 working again.
It worked fine with ivtv 10.1 but since I installed v4l-dvb it doesn't
work anymore.

I also downloaded the latest v4l-dvb from cvs.
It appears that ivtv is merged into v4l-dvb.
When I install that one ivtv is also working.
However there's no mantis driver in that one.

So now I have 2 versions of v4l-dvb.
One with support for the 1034 and the other one with support for the
hauppauge 350.
Can someone please tell me how I can use both cards at the same time?

b.t.w.
Great you are all still working on the mantis driver.
Can't wait to try the CI when it's ready :)

Thanx,
Joep
