Hi people! I have upgraded to the latest kernel 4.2.0 and selected all PCI boards As option to choose which frontent, I selected automatic selection.
I restarted now and it all runs the way I want. I have previously copied the firmware from dvbsky in /lib/firmware and restarted the machine. The board is displayed propperly and it's listed in the /dev/dvb folder: tamer@tux ~ $ ls -lA /dev/dvb/adapter0/ insgesamt 0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 1 27. Okt 00:12 demux0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 2 27. Okt 00:12 dvr0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 0 27. Okt 00:12 frontend0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 3 27. Okt 00:12 net0 before I got to bed I recompile glibc, gcc x 2times and built the gentoo kernel once again. best, Tamer Am 27.10.2015 um 00:03 schrieb Mick: > On Monday 26 Oct 2015 22:43:46 Heiko Baums wrote: >> Am 26.10.2015 um 23:17 schrieb Tamer Higazi: >>> I do have a DVBSky S950 (PCI Express) in my gentoo system. >>> The poducer of this board told me that the kernel module is: cx23885 >>> which I don't find.
