pcHDTV 5500 with 2.6.20-4

QuimaxW · 2007-02-20 05:09:41

I was running 2.6.19 on my mythtv server, and I did a pacman -Syu today...it updated the system to 2.6.20-4. All seems to work except for my dvb cards! I no longer have a /dev/dvb folders (I have two tuners)

dmesg |grep dvb yeilds nothing.
lsmod shows cx88xx modules loaded, but I can only get to the v4l analog portion of my two tuner cards. Does anyone know of any modules I may need to manually load now? With 2.6.19 is "just worked"

I'm really hopeing there is just something I missed...

I can also confirm that there are problems with v4l on the 2.6.20 kernel as both my dvico cards aren't loading.

I've switching back to 2.6.19 for now.

I havn't tried getting a picture via v4l, but MythTV does recognize the card via v4l.

How do I go back to an older version of the kernel?

I figured out how to go back to 2.6.19 and my problems have 'gone away'

I will try the newer 2.6.20-? kernels to see if they end up working. At the pchdtv.com site it proudly states that "2.6.20 gives full support" for the pchdtv cards. Hmmm...

COOL!

The latest kernel 2.6.20.1-2 works. The catch is that now the dvb module needs to be loaded manually. modprobe cx88-dvb does the trick. I added it to my rc.conf file, and all seems well so far!
