[linux-dvb] TechniSat SkyStar 2 doesn't work with 2.6.10 RC3??

[Bernhard <bernhard@hornung-puc.de>]

Hello, 

I have one of the new intel 915 boards with integrated Graphics. Since Suse 
9.1 doesn't support this system well, I used a vanilla kernel from 
kernel.org. 

I tried 2.6.10 RC1 and now 2.6.10 RC3. Same symptoms. 

Unfortunately, I cannot get my DVB card to function. I loaded the modules

skystar2
mt312
stv0299

When I load mt312 and stv0299, the log entries are as follows:
*******************
Dec 18 19:58:23 linux kernel: master_xfer: read error !

Dec 18 19:58:28 linux kernel: DVB: registering frontend 0 
(STV0299/TSA5059/SL1935 based)...
*******************

(I also tried all the other frontend drivers, but without any luck).

But when I try to run e.g. zapdvb, the output is as follows:

*******************
zapdvb: Info: config file : /usr/local/share/zapdvb/zapdvb.conf
zapdvb: Info: process info: /root/.zapdvb_run
zapdvb: Info: DVB-S LNB settings: type='UNIVERSAL' band=high
zapdvb: Info: channel='ZDF' sat=0-hori frequ=11954MHz srate=27500 video=110 
audio=120
zapdvb: Info: using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and 
'/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
zapdvb: Error: Opening frontend failed (/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0): No such 
device or address
*******************

/dev/dvb/adapater0/frontend0 is existing when I list it with ls, but is 
obviously not OK.

BTW, my hardware is OK. I can view DVB in Windows, but want to get rid of 
Windows. And I tried it with user root and also made root member of group 
'video'. So it shouldn't be a problem related to access rights. 

Does anyone know, why my card is not working? Any hint would greatly be 
appreciated. 

Cheers, 
Bernhard
