[vdr] Still no recording possible

[Alexander Asteroth <aster@cs.uni-bonn.de>]

Hello again,

A week ago I reported having problems recording with my Haupauge DVB-S 
Card. Yesterday I finally found the time to do a complete 
reinstallation. I removed the old DVB driver-modules, the /dev/ost 
directory and installed a freshly compiled DVB driver and a vdr-1.0.4 
with the current AIO patch (not 04.07.).

Unfortunately my system is still reporting that it doesn't find a free 
DVB-device for recording (immediately after booting). Can anybody tell 
me how locking takes place which devices/files get marked. Or is there 
even some kind of hardware locking (i.e. the card is hard-locked 
(reboot-resitant) and refuses to do any further recording).

Could anybody could give me a hint on the causal dependencies of locking 
in vdr?

Thanks,

    Alex
