I've installed dvb-kernel from today and noticed, that sometimes
when running ./insmod.sh load there won't be frontend0 in
/dev/dvb/adapter1. After several restarts (or a restart of the
machine) there appear frontend0 in the /dev/dvb/adapter directory.
With the "normal" DVB-driver I've never had such effects.
My system:
primary device: Hauppauge DVB-s 1.3
secondary device: Hauppauge Nexus-s
Mandrake 9.1 with 2.4.21-0.13mdk-Kernel
Perhaps something with the frontend detection is different in DVB and
dvb-kernel. What frontends are one your cards?
