I sent the email above to the list a day or so ago and received no response.
If I am on the wrong list I would be grateful if someone aufait inform me
of the appropriate list. Otherwise suggestions of where I am going wrong
would be much apprecuated.
as an update:-
I tested the setup described above on a machine with kernel-2.6.31.6 and
/dev/dvb/adapter0 is generated
I recall a while back when DVB drivers were not in the kernel. Then they
were integrated within thus requiring only a kernel compilation. I came
across the somewhat ubuntified wiki
( http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Bug_Report )
(which seems to suggest the old method is now needed.. I would thus be
grateful for some clarity as per:-
Is compiling the kernel as up to 2.6.28.8 and with prior selection of the
appropriate devices under device/drivers/multimedia/video sufficient or does
one now need to follow the recipe given by the link above.
