Matt, I just joined the list so I don't have all the entire thread to this conversation but it seems like you are trying to recompile/update the kernel with some kernel modules. Are you doing a recompile of the kernel from vanilla source or just using FC3s update mechanism?
I know if you compile the vanilla kernel there are a bunch of side modules that you need to include in order for the DVB stuff to work. I'm using a pcHDTV HD-3000 which is an ATSC board that has DVB support in Kernel 2.6.12-rc2 and greater. If you don't mind, could you send an output of lsmod?

I have been banging my head against the wall in several late-night sessions trying to get my DVB-T card (Nebula DigiTV) working and I had come to the conclusion that my kernel version (2.6.11-1.14) was too new for there to be sufficient guiding documentation around for an idiot like me. Really good to see a success story. Having read your post, I ran all the packages above (only the last three actually updated anything, somehow I'd already got the first two) then did 'make' and 'insmod'[2][3] of dvb-kernel (again!) but I still can't see any 'DVB:' entries in dmesg[1]... which is my success criteria for this step... Would you mind explaining how you knew which apt-get packages you needed, and how I would go about figuring out which I need for my Nebula card? (according to the linuxtv wiki[4] it's the same as an ATI NXT6000) Just for fun I tried the following but 'couldn't find package'... oh well: # apt-get install ntx6000-kmdl-2.6.11-14_FC3 Thanks very much in advance to anyone who takes the time to reply. cheers, Matt [1] There may be a clue in my dmesg: the final line is as follows: dvb_usb_digitv: Unknown symbol nxt6000_attach Though my card is PCI not USB, so this may be a red herring. [2] according to Martin Smith's guide these are probably not a problem, but the following lines from the beginning of insmod output might be relevant: FATAL: Module crc32 not found. FATAL: Module firmware_class not found. FATAL: Module evdev not found. [3] An error message at the end of insmod's output could be relevant to my card (though it is PCI, not USB): insmod: error inserting './dvb-usb-digitv.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module [4] http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/PCI_devices_DVB-T sadly my card doesn't seem to have it's own page. ---- phone: +44(0)7974430184 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://www.somethink.co.uk _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
