[linux-dvb] Re: No /dev/dvb entries with WinTV NEXUS-S under Kernel 2.6.6

I don't think I've ever seen hotplug do that, or even kudzu for that matter.
I can image kudzu creating /dev entries, - but removing them? That's a
little dangerious. Maybe someone else can confirm.

Maybe you can pinpoint the service that's causing the problem. Assuming one
of the startup services is deleting you dvb files, I would start by booting
the kernel in single user mode "kernel 1" or "kernel single", then calling
init 1, init 2 etc until you notice that the files have disappeared. You
should be able to determine which run level causes the problem, and which
services are started in that run level.

Dear Steve,

I did it before. The broblem is that because of "hotplug", these entries
vanish after reboot. Any idea?

Cheers,
