Hi, Not the right list but maybe there are other people affected here. Since upgrading to 2.6.16 kernel I have had problems accessing the DVB card. I run debian sid. No frontend or dvb structure in /dev were created After further investigation it shows to be a bug already recorded by redhat. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=181063 One needs to blacklist the stradis driver in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist Hope it helps someone.
