[linux-dvb] /dev/dvb empty

[Brendan Bispham <brendan.lists@black-and-blue.com>]

Hi,

I'm using 2.6.1 with a dec2000t. I'm not sure how close I am to getting this 
working, but at the moment I cant seem to get a decent /dev entry.

I have devfs working, at least to the point where a /dev/dvb directory is 
created:

/home/brendan-root >lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0b48:1008  
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 09da:0006 A4 Tech Co., Ltd. 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Virtual Hub

/home/brendan-root >lsmod

/home/brendan-root >ls /dev/dv

/home/brendan-root >cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2/product 
Hauppauge DEC USB

/home/brendan-root >/etc/init.d/hotplug start

/home/brendan-root >lsmod

/home/brendan-root >tail /var/log/messages

Jan 16 09:35:48 vinnie2 kernel: drivers/usb/core/usb.c: registered new driver 
TechnoTrend/Hauppauge DEC USB

----------------------

But /dev/dvb is created but empty:

/home/brendan-root >ls /dev/dv
dvb  dvd  
/home/brendan-root >ls /dev/dvb/


Then I've created the entries with the makedev script, but they dont want to 
work:

/home/brendan-root >projects/linux/DVB/driver/makedev.napi 
It seems you are using devfs. Good! (Commented out)

/home/brendan-root >cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 
cat: /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0: No such device

-------------------------

Looking through the instructions at  http://www.roland-gersch.de/dec2000 I see 
you need dvb-mpegtools for debian... Seeing as I'm running Gentoo the 
equivalent would be libdvb - but what parts are relevant to a 2.6 kernel? Is 
this the thing I'm missing?

thanks for any help,

Brendan
