I removed the /dev/dvb directory and did it with :
for i in `seq 0 3`; do
        echo "Creating DVB devices in /dev/dvb/adapter$i"
        mkdir /dev/dvb/adapter$i
        chmod 755 /dev/dvb/adapter$i
        mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/video0    c 212   `expr 64 \* $i
+ 0`
        mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/audio0    c 212   `expr 64 \* $i
+ 1`
        mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/frontend0 c 212   `expr 64 \* $i
+ 3`
        mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/demux0    c 212   `expr 64 \* $i
+ 4`
        mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/dvr0      c 212   `expr 64 \* $i
+ 5`
        mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/ca0       c 212   `expr 64 \* $i
+ 6`
        mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/net0      c 212   `expr 64 \* $i
+ 7`
        mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/osd0      c 212   `expr 64 \* $i
+ 8`
done

now tzap can see the card, but I get :
[root@linux szap]# ./tzap -c ~/.tzap/channels.conf -r 'CHANNEL4'

scan still doesn't work though :
[root@linux scan]# touch dvbscan
[root@linux scan]# ./scan dvbscan ~/.tzap/channels.conf
scanning dvbscan

Done.

wrong syntax?
