I would start by building a kernel that doesn't use the dvb drivers that are included i.e. don't select dvb devices in xconfig (I'm using 2.6.3 so I don't know if they have changed in 2.6.5). Then I would build dvb-kernel from the latest CVS.
You should also check that you have hotplug support enabled in your kernel. I have my firmware in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware. This works fine.
If you run /sbin/hotplug you'll get a list of hotplug agents you have available but dmesg should give you some better clues as to what is going on. I see this:
ttusb_init_controller: dsp-version: 0.0
DVB: registering new adapter (Technotrend/Hauppauge Nova-USB).
tda1004x: Detected Philips TDA10046H.
tda1004x: Detected Philips TD1316 tuner.
DVB: registering frontend 0:0 (Philips TDA10046H)...
drivers/usb/core/usb.c: registered new driver Technotrend/Hauppauge USB-Nova
Ignore the usb bits - I have a nova-t usb.
The script that I was running when I was trying to get all this working was:
modprobe via_agp
modprobe via-v4l-drv
modprobe evdev
modprobe v4l1-compat
modprobe v4l2-common
modprobe video-buf
insmod /usr/src/dvb-kernel/build-2.6/dvb-core.ko
insmod /usr/src/dvb-kernel/build-2.6/tda1004x.ko
insmod /usr/src/dvb-kernel/build-2.6/dvb-ttusb-budget.ko
Don't worry about the first two via bits (unless you have a via mainboard).
Since I have a nova-t usb, the last module I load is different from you.
There should be a pause when you load tda1004x.ko while the firmware is downloaded. scan and tzap should work fine now. Once you have it running you can obviously create some appropriate scripts to start and stop things.

Hi Guys,
Sorry for asking a stupid question, But:
when I run make xconfig on kernel 2.6.5:
Under OPTION:
multimedia Devices
Digital Video Broadcasting Devices
..
Frontends with External TDA10045H, TDA10048H demodulators
.. IT SAYS the firmware should be downloaded to /etc/dvb/tda1004x.bin
BUT Under the Explanation text it says it should be downloaded to
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/tda1004x.bin
I understand that it should be usr/lib/hotplug, But is there any way of
seeing inside the module code to see which one it is really using ? - I
am just thinking that if it is using /etc/dvb - This may be why it isn't
working for me.
I have tried to follow all the steps like downloading dvb-kernel from
CVS and doing the makelinks script etc..I am just a little confused as
to where to look now.
Does anyone know how to check the hotplug interface to know if it is
working, is there something under /sys ?
I believe I can manually add the path during a modprobe - is this true
for THIS module ?
I think I saw the same thing in xconfig in kernel 2.6.3 and 2.6.4 as well?
....Again, I am sorry for asking, I am new to all of this and there is a
steep learning curve for people like me :)...
I am trying to get a hauppauge Nova-t PCI card working - Everything I
do, ends with Scan or DVBScan not being able to lock onto any
frequencies - If any one has any advice, IT would be REALLY welcome.
I am not even sure which modules to load now, I think I have tried them all.
I am trying to scan the frequency 722000000 in the UK (EmleyMoor) - I
have several others like 626000000
Does this look like the correct frequency to scan or should it be more
like 722166666 - I can not scan anything yet, so I really need to check
that I know what to scan for when I get it working.
Any advise would be really welcome.
Many thanks
Dave Pick.
