[linux-dvb] WinTV Nova + devfs + NEWSTRUCT : No stream at all

[BrainFrog <brainfrog@gmx.de>]

Hi all,
I own a WinTV Nova (i guess thats a DVB-s without mpeg2 deoder?) and it 
works under windows.
Now i tried to get it to run under linux, my system is a custom gnu 
linux system
with a 2.4.20-pre5-ac2 (just upgraded to see if the problem was in the 
2.4.18 kernel, but no difference)
kernel and i use devfs with devfsd. I pulled the cvs NEWSTRUCT version 
and made the driver,
everything seams to work so far, when i do "make insmod" he only 
complains about
not finding inputcore and event module as i ompiled them directly into 
the kernel(is that allready wrong?),
ok then there are /dev/dvb/adapter0/{demux0,frontend0,net0,dvr0} (should 
there be anything else with a nova card?)
then i can compile libdvb, everything works fine, i compile tuxzap and 
start it, now i can tune to every channel,
at least he doesn't complain. So far so good, but now i leave the tuxzap 
open press the dvr enable button
and try to cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 to some textfile, but nothing, 
zero length.
If I try to do an anylyze on the dvr0 it just waits endless for any 
input, no message.
When tuxzap is disabled its the same with dvr0 but the other threee 
devies seem to work according to analyze
and one last thing, when tuxzap is enabled and i try to access frontend0 
it says device or resource busy
or something like that, but i guess thats normal? ahh yes and when i do 
that cat'ing with any of the other devices
i also get zero strings.
Thanks for any help in advance
