Hauppage Nova-T PCI DVB receiver card not working
Hello folks,
I'm trying to set up this DVB card in my box.
The v4l drivers seem to work right, as in lots of useful stuff
appears in dmesg, and lsmod shows some useful looking modules have
appeared, but when I try to run "scan":
pvr@pvr:~$ scan -c
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
main:1882: FATAL: failed to open '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0': 2 No
such file or directory
Trying to makedev them manually seems to do nothing:
pvr@pvr:/dev$ sudo ./MAKEDEV dvb
pvr@pvr:/dev$ ls -ld dvb
ls: dvb: No such file or directory
Now, this machine has hotplug and udev, so I suspect the problem is
either:
1) There's a lot of kernel modules involved; perhaps they're not
*all* loaded. I can't find any reference to which ones to expect for
my particular card. Not having all the modules might inhibit hotplug
from kicking into action.
2) There's an issue with hotplug/udev that's making it not create the
files in /dev
Here's the obligatory details:
