[linux-dvb] Re: dvb-bt8xx and dst char major problem ? can't find frontend FOUND WHERE IT COMES FROM !

["Jake L. Wegman" <jake@ultrex.com>]

I also am experiencing a "Frontend" issue with the Twinhan VP-1020 (old blue
circuit board).  The current (10/8/04) CVS dvb-kernel drivers will not find
a valid frontend.

Below, I've provided a dmesg snipit of failing to detect a front end using
vanilla kernel 2.6.10-rc1-bk12 and 10/08/04 CVS dvb-kernel driver:

2.6.10-rc1-bk12 10/08/04 CVS dvb-kernel - DST frontend for Twinhan VP-1020
won't load.

Below is a dmesg snipit of a Gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.9-r3 (with the stock
dvb-kernel drivers).  This configuration correctly identifies and loads the
dst front end:
