I have found that adding a "sleep 5" to my startup script, between loading the drivers and starting vdr, has caused it to successfully survive five reboots.
I'm doing an udevadm settle --timeout=30 after load/unload, haven't had any issues with that. Before I had that solution, I was polling for all devices to appear under /dev/dvb, before starting VDR.
"udevadm settle" is a nice replacement for a sleep, something learned today, thanks. :-)
<Advertisement> ;-) This is where the dynamite-plugin comes in (needs a patch for the vdr). It creates device-proxies so vdr can start without the actual devices. dynamite listens on udev and attachs the devices as they got created. This scenario was one of the reasons to develop that plugin...

I use it because it adds ways to detach cards from vdr, reload drivers and use them again without stopping vdr.
Thanks again for this wonderful plugin !
btw, i haven't tested, does vdr-1.7.24-dynamite-subdevice.patch apply on 1.7.26+(patches from the ml)
