[linux-dvb] SS2: opening frontend failed

[Anton Panov <anpan@flat.ru>]

Hello!

I am trying to get SS2 (rev 2.6B) working on my Gentoo box, but szap 
reports the error:


homer root # szap -c /etc/channels.conf -n 1
reading channels from file '/etc/channels.conf'
zapping to 1 'SpaceGate':
sat 0, frequency = 11061 MHz V, symbolrate 19532000, vpid = 0x0000, apid 
= 0x0000
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
opening frontend failed: No such file or directory


Please, help!

I am using recent Linuxtv snapshot (dvb-20041024.tar.bz2). Installation 
was successful as far as i can say. I am using devfs.

Here is what's in /dev/dvb/adapter0/ & what lsmod, dmesg says:
