My guess is that this coud be caused by the major device number change on
the dvb entries in /dev/dvb

If you load the modules and run:
cat /proc/devices

What is the number before DVB?
Is it the same as the first number when you do:
ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0

They shoud be 250 or 212 and the files under /dev/dvb shoud have the same
major number as listed in /proc/devices

If they're not, just rerun the makedev script (or whatever it was called)
from the dvb source.
