[linux-dvb] more problems WinTV Nova-T 90002 (Conexant chip)

["Linux TV homemaillist" <linuxtv@nzbaxters.com>]

I've made some progress on this.
Platform : Fedoracore2 running 2.6.9-1.6_FC2custom (with patches for
CX22702 module, Conexant 2388x and DVB support from under Video for Linux)

Discovered FC2 won't automatically put the device into /dev/dvb, so
manually did a :
for i in `seq 0 3`; do
        echo "Creating DVB devices in /dev/dvb/adapter$i"
        mkdir /dev/dvb/adapter$i
        chmod 755 /dev/dvb/adapter$i
        mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/video0    c 250   `expr 64 \* $i
+ 0`
        mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/audio0    c 250   `expr 64 \* $i
+ 1`
        mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/frontend0 c 250   `expr 64 \* $i
+ 3`
        mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/demux0    c 250   `expr 64 \* $i
+ 4`
        mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/dvr0      c 250   `expr 64 \* $i
+ 5`
        mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/ca0       c 250   `expr 64 \* $i
+ 6`
        mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/net0      c 250   `expr 64 \* $i
+ 7`
        mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/osd0      c 250   `expr 64 \* $i
+ 8`
        chown root.video /dev/dvb/adapter$i/*

-from MAKEDEV-DVB.sh (although the chown didn't work as the root.video
group doesn't exist)


Next, I downloaded the linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0 apps and get the following :

[root@linux szap]# ./tzap -c ~/.tzap/channels.conf -r 'CHANNEL4'
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
ERROR: failed opening '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' (No such device or
address)

[root@linux scan]# ./scan dvbscan ~/.tzap/channels.conf

[root@linux scan]#

[root@linux scan]# cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
cat: /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0: No such device or address



looks like the adapter hasn't been added - so checked :
dmesg....

and modified the chmod to the following (just in case) :
[root@linux szap]# ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0/
total 0
crwxrwxrwx  1 root root 250, 1 Jan  3 10:17 audio0

crwxrwxrwx  1 root root 250, 8 Jan  3 10:17 osd0
crwxrwxrwx  1 root root 250, 0 Jan  3 10:17 video0

(by the way, what should the chown be for these??)


NOW WHAT?
I'm a relative newbie to linux/unix.  I'm sure there's something I've
missed out binding the actual adapter to this /dev/dvb created
directories.

Can anyone help?

PS.  Looked at the 2.6.10 src code, in case I should upgrade to a proper
released kernel, but it doesn't appear to have the CX88 stuff in it!
