Hello Uri; sorry that I have waited so long to reply to this... On Wed, 19 Nov 2008, Uri Shkolnik wrote: > The first adds the SmsHost API support. This API supports DTV standards yet to be fully supported by the DVB-API (CMMB, T-DMB and more). The patches have all applied cleanly, and built properly, thank you. (Or, at least, I had no problems.) However, what I have is probably a complete-newbie question, that I should be ashamed to ask, because I *should* know better. Is there a particular Linux distribution for which the Siano source code is intended, and, exactly what should I expect to see in /dev when I successfully load the module with my device? I ask this because on my test system, /dev major number 251 appears to be used by `usbdev' -- I'm using ``udev'' on what I think is a sort-of-recent Debian system; whether I've updated `udev' here I can't say without looking -- I know I updated `udev' on an earlier Debian system if not the one I'm running now... I see on the static /dev (before possible `udev') that I have mounted from my earlier Debian, before I decided that trying to keep up-to-date was best done by a fresh install -- that /dev major 251 is unused there. I've updated `udev' independent of the rest of the OS in the past out of necessity, and while I have not been able to kill off the part of my brane that haunts me with the memory of glowing tubes/valves, I can no longer remember any details of my `udev' hacking. Of course, I can use module-load-parameters to specify a different major number, but I don't see any anticipated character devices getting created upon module load -- if I need to physically disconnect and reconnect the device for this, then my apologies, as I didn't get around to that. Yet. I am sure I'm either doing something stupid, or I've been to lazy to fix `udev' for myself, but I'm asking this to try to help me save a few hours re-learning everything I've forgotten about devices... Of course, if Sir Mkrufky@ already has a fix in the works for this, then I'll just shut up for a short spell.
