I pasted the subject line from: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2009-January/thread.html#31463 the last message of the thread on the problem that I still have (there is the patch in there in some post on the thread that should fix my problem). Tha card is a Hauppauge HVR-3000 that works fine on M$ Windoze Vista. Arch is 64bit Athlon based... With the kernel ("uname -r" output): 2.6.28-gentoo-r1 In fact, cx88-dvb sometimes loads and then I have the populated /dev/dvb... (very choppy but I got anything I tried after dvbscan and szap etc.) And sometimes it doesn't load at all and there is no /dev/dvb directory at all. The error when issuing "modprobe cx88-dvb" is: FATAL: Error inserting cx88_dvb (/lib/modules/2.6.28-gentoo-r1/v4l-dvb/video/cx88/cx88-dvb.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) dmesg on its part only has: cx88_dvb: Unknown parameter `frontend' The kernel (2.6.28-gentoo-r1) does have the aforementioned Andy's patch applied... Firmare is as suggested here: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-4000#Firmware_v1.23.86.1 I am at a loss where to turn, what to try... Cheers!
