I have Nova-T card and I had similar problem too, I fixed it by adding few
lines to the runvdr script before the "su -c "$VDRCMD" $VDRUSR" line.

su -c /usr/bin/tzap channel_name &
sleep 5
$KILL /usr/bin/tzap

Without this modification I always get those errors, but now it works
every time. I have SuSE 8.2 installed and drivers are loaded via
/etc/sysconfig/kernel. VDR is started from /etc/init.d/rc3.d/.
