[linux-dvb] Re: B2C2 DVB CONFIGURATION ON 2.6.10 KERNEL
Dear friends:
Very thanks for you help.
I was trying what Simon told me to, as seen below.
Used kernel's drivers, and used MAKEDEV-DVB.sh script
incluided in linux-dvb-1.1.1, changing previously
"chown root.video" to "chown root.root", since I am
working as root user. /dev/dvb/adapterX/...
directory tree was created, as expected.
I also added the recommended block to
/etc/modprobe.conf, but here problems begin. First,
modprobe did not accept --first-time option, acording
to modprobe help. Then I tried without this option,
and everything was aparently OK. However, I could not
use my B2C2 yet.
I re-compiled my kernel, configuring all necesary
support for dvb and b2c2, as modules (because
previously, I compiled kernel configuring this as
"built-in" in kernel, not as modules). This time,
things appeared to be better. When I restarted the
PC, kudzu (I am working over a REDHAT based system)
recognized new hardware, as "Techsan Electronics Co.
Ltd|B2C2 FlexcopII DVB Chip / Technisat Skystar2 DVB
Card", and let me configure it, as a network card.
But, when I tried to activate/start the new interface,
I allways received the same message: "The skystar2
device does not appear to be present, dalaying start"
(according to my translation, note that I am working
over a spahish environment). All related modules were
loaded (skystar2, stv0299, mt312, mt512, dvb_core).
How is it possible that first, kernel recognices the
hardware, and then, it says that the hardware "does
not appear to be present" ??
I tried all I imagined as possible. Without including
the code block on /etc/modprobe.conf, things go the
same. Kernel automatically includes "alias eth2
skystar2", however.
Any additional idea ??
Very thanks in advance.
Best regards.
Ricardo Soria.
