How can i speed up the starting of the dvb driver and vdr ?
If you're using a FF dvb card, loading the firmware takes some time.
You can speed up this (or actually hide some time) if you don't let runvdr load the driver but rather create an own startup script to load the driver and run this one very first after boot i.e. S01. You have to background (&) the make insmod call.
Is this correct:
1. Comment out the start of dvb driver in runvdr:
# Load driver if it hasn't been loaded already: #if [ $LSMOD -eq 0 ] ; then # (cd $DVBDIR; make insmod) # fi
2. Create new dvb-start.sh script (is the & at the right place ?): # Load driver if it hasn't been loaded already: if [ $LSMOD -eq 0 ] ; then (cd $DVBDIR; &make insmod) fi
Question: If the dvb-driver hangs, will the restart be unaffected from this change ? (I think so, but i'll ask to be sure ;-)
