Hi folks,

I'm pulling mai hair off with this. I have only installed a new gentoo (stock gentoo 2.6.10 kernel, DVB drivers for my Nova-S from this kernel), nptl enabled (I still have the old gentoo on another partition, nptl-enabled, too, where VDR works, for what I'm doing with VDR until now, I never had these famous NPTL-related problems), only this time udev-enabled. Well, after figuring out how to setup the dvb devices with udev in /dev/dvb/, I thought all was set, I copyed my old /etc/vdr configuration files over from the old partition and expected VDR (tried 1.3.18, 1.3.20, 1.3.21) to just work. But it doesn't. I'm either getting "Channel unavailable" on the OSD, or "device 1 has no lock, can't attach receiver" in the log file. With dvbscan from dvb-apps I can generate a channels.conf from each of the 4 LNBs attached to my diseqc switch (Amos, Sirius, Eutelsat W2 and Astra), and I didn't change anything in the VDR's diseqc.conf. Well, I do not actually know if the fact that I can scan the transponders with dvbscan means that everything should be OK. How/what could I test further? I was thinking of using szap to tune to a channel and check if mplayer works, but I can't find out how to tell szap to choose one of the LNBs. So what any other ideas do you guys have? What other information do you need to know, as I'm so frustrated right now I didn't manage to think of all information needed?

Thanx a lot in advance Lucian
