Hi Mat, Some of this may be redundant to you, I'm a newb (haven't even earned full newbie status yet), but it should point you in the right direction. Anyone one else should smack me if they can think of easier ways to do this ... You shouldn't need to re-install FC3 ... but you will need a new kernel. As far as I can tell this should work I started by following directions at http://www.pchdtv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=521 figuring I would have to only make minor adjustments for the HD3000. I didn't edit the Makefiles from this posting since it was specific to the HD2000 and looked like it was going to cause havok. untar kernel-source-2.6.10.tar.bz2 to /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.10 ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.10 linux ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.10 linux-2.6 get the latest CVS from linuxtv by following the instructions at http://www.linuxtv.org/cvs.php this will put a directory called dvb-kernel on your drive (in whatever directory you called cvs from) While you are at it you will want to get dvb-apps as well. I did this so that it ended up in /usr/src/dvb-kernel cd to /usr/src/dvb-kernel ran: <code> #sh ./makelinks /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.10 </code> cd to /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.10 use your current config as a starting point(it makes it easier) so do a make oldconfig then make menuconfig I made sure the following Device Drivers as modules I2C Support Video for Linux DVB for Linux DVB Core I didn't include any specific device support here, since I am going to use the current v4l2 drivers save the config and do make and install dance... I used make-kpkg then dpkg to install and then rebooted. Sorry don't know what you need to do for FC3, I only started using Debian two months ago, and the last time I dabbled with linux previous to that was in 96 or 97 with Slackware ... get the latest video4linux CVS snapshot from http://dl.bytesex.org/cvs-snapshots/ and un-tar it with tar -xzvf <filename> You should now have a directory called video4linux. I did this so that it ended up in /usr/src/video4linux do a make in video4linux. At this point everything should have built without error. (I used video4linux-20050221-135759.tar.gz and I had to hardcode the kernel ver for it to work compile and install to my current kernel version) video4linux places the modules in /lib/modules/(kernel ver)/v4l2. I like to keep all the non-kernel built modules in there (even the ones from DVB) and remove the older modules from the kernel tree to avoid conflicts. As root issue the following: <code> #depmod -e #modprobe cx88-dvb #dvb-kernel/MAKEDEV-DVB.sh </code> Everything should have loaded, but before we can test we need to put the firmware into the right hotplug directory. Get the firmware files for the HD3000 for Kernel-2.6 hotplug drivers from http://pchdtv.com/downloads.html Look at your /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent file for a line FIRMWARE_DIR=. Copy all fo the .fw files from dvb-kernel/firmware to the path listed as your FIRMWARE_DIR as well as the firmware you downloaded. I know ... I know, it's more than you need ... all you really need is the dvb-fe-or51132-vsb.fw for OTA and dvb-fe-or51132-qam.fw for QAM. it was /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware for Debian .. should be similar for you... make sure hotplug is current, mine wasn't. You should be set to access the board through the DVB driver using the apps using the dvb-apps you downloaded and made. I compiled the dvb-apps and was able to get a lock using azap (read the readme for setting up the channels.conf for azap) and using the scan for transports within mythsetup. I've got some DMA issues and antenna issuess .. and some others related to my switch from 2.4.26... so things aren't perfect but as far as I can tell the drivers are working and recording. Overall it wasn't too bad :)
