Iain,

(1) you need to get cx88_dvb to load instead of cx88_blackbird.
(2) you need the correct device nodes, ie various directories under /dev/dvb/adapter0 not a single device /dev/dvb.


     I found the following:

To do (1)....
  First check you have the correct module available to load by doing
modprobe -r cx88_blackbird
modprobe cx88_dvb
lsmod

You should now see cx88_dvb listed. If you can't modprobe cx88_dvb you haven't compiled the correct patches / kernel options.

To make this happen automatically at boot I had to manually comment out all references to cx88_blackbird in
/lib/modules/<your kernel dir>/modules.alias
and /lib/modules/<your kernel dir>/modules.pcimap


It is something to do with the two modules having the same device code. Someone may have a cleaner solution but this does at least seem to work.

This did the job perfectly - now udev has picked it up properly for the first time and it survived the reboot. I knew I was close and that it was something to do with modules, but was not having any joy finding a solution.



To do (2)...
You must update udev to version 050.

Had done that already so just step (1) solved all my problems (well at least the getting the card to appear problem, not there's a whole slew of problems ahead of me :)


HTH. Let me know if you need furhter details on Kernel compile, etc.

Thanks very much!
