[linux-dvb] Re: DVico Fusion HDTV DVB-T card - Any simple How-to?

Thanks again Soyeb

I feel that there is something very basic that I have missed. Usually I google 
my way out of trouble but there is not much to go on in this instance. I have 
followed Chris Pascoe's instructions and have done what I believe should be 
done in steps 1, 2, and 3 on his page. This includes following the sequence 
of commands A-F as outlined in Justin's instructions from the linked page.

First off I am running slack-10 with the 2.6.8.1 kernel supplied on a slack 
mirror awhile back.

Yes, output as follows but these devices seem to need to be created at each 
boot.
root@rick:/home/rick/Dvico/build/dvb-kernel# ./MAKEDEV-DVB.sh
Creating DVB devices in /dev/dvb/adapter0
Creating DVB devices in /dev/dvb/adapter1
Creating DVB devices in /dev/dvb/adapter2
Creating DVB devices in /dev/dvb/adapter3

Here's output when I stop then start init script

root@rick:/home/rick/Dvico/build# ./DVICO-Init.sh stop

I can't find those modules because they were compiled in cx88-0.0.4+dvb folder 
so I cd there and do a ./dvb-dvico stop and then start

It so neither of these scripts will load everything I need and to my way of 
thinking maybe I should just copy these all into the 
appropriate /lib/modules/2.6.8.1/kernel/drivers/media/dvb directory but 
which/where .... and If I can sort that out will I have to script something 
to load the lot at boot as well as create the appropriate /dev/dvb files

dmesg isn't happy and I suppose it won't be until I sort out the above

TIA for any comment/advice/constructive criticism
