This won't help with your missing file problem. But you could have
linux reload the tuner on bootup.
In redhat you can edit rc.local and do the rmmod and modprobe the tuner
with whatever you need. I had to do this for my pvr350 card upon
bootup. Except I just modprobed the ivtv module. I also had to restart
mythbackend for some reason. I don't know why.
Hopefully, this helps you solve one problem.

No joy. Still the same problem.
running mythfrontend with the -v all flag returns a log file ending
with "nVidiaVideoSync: Could not open device /dev/nvidia0; no such
file or directory"

Put -nvidia in your USE Flags in "/etc/make.conf" and emerge mythtv again.
This will remove the NVidia support and presumably allow you to start.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Problems running Myth - segfault starting liveTV
I've been working on a MythTV box for a few months now, and it's been
one trouble after another.
Word of caution: Pundit-R's don't seem to like SATA HDD and PATA DVD
drives together.
I've put in a Hauppauge PVR-250 and a 160GB PATA drive along with the
DVD-RW drive.
The system is running Gentoo 2005.1
So far, so good, I can watch DVDs through mplayer
I installed the Hauppauge card, and had problems getting it to tune.
Seems that the tuner module does not load with the correct tuner
parameter. On boot I have to manually unload that module with an
rmmod, and reload it with a "modprobe tuner type=39". Then the card
will tune to NSTC cable (using mplayer & ptune-ui to test)
Started up Myth for the first time. Backend runs OK, frontend starts
OK. Try to choose Live TV, and the screen goes black for about 5 sec,
then returns to X (using evilWM) with a "segmentation fault" error.
No other information is provided.
I've rebuilt Myth from source, and build using the --debug option, but
I can't seem to get mythfrontend to start from a virtual console and
display on the local X. it tells me no X server is available (yes, X
is running, and the DISPLAY variable is set). Running mythfrontend in
gdb locally ends up locking the display when it segfaults. Ctl-C, etc
does not get me back to the console to view the GDB output (only
solution is killing the X server).
So, I turned on verbose logging. Just before it segfaults, the
logfile shows myth looking for /dev/nvidia0 Which doesn't exist on
my pundit's ATI board.
Following this recent thread:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/144660 has not
proved helpful as the instructions to disable XvMC (settings -> next
-> next, etc). don't jive with myth 0.18.1
The .configure output when building myth shows no XvMC and no OpenGL
support, so, wtf?
Bottom line: Why is myth looking for /dev/nvidia0 when it shouldn't
be?, how do I stop that?, and why will there be no broadcast HDTV in
my area until fall 2006?
Thanks for anyone's help. I can't imagine that pundit-R + pvr250 +
gentoo is a strange combination, so odds are SOMEONE has fought with
this before.
