That part I think (thats probably a bad thing) that because I didn't have SIMPLE_TUNER enabled, which I see is but its not working in this old boot either, but its at least seen, but there is no evidence that /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-or51132-vsb.fw is being loaded even in this old boot. The instructions are ambiguous at best in the make xconfig help screen: Oren OR51132 based (DVB_OR51132) CONFIG_DVB_OR51132: An ATSC 8VSB and QAM64/256 tuner module. Say Y when you want to support this frontend. This driver needs external firmware. Please use the commands "<kerneldir>/Documentation/dvb/get_dvb_firmware or51132_vsb" and/or "<kerneldir>/Documentation/dvb/get_dvb_firmware or51132_qam" to download firmwares for 8VSB and QAM64/256, respectively. Copy them to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware or /lib/firmware (depending on configuration of firmware hotplug). Symbol: DVB_OR51132 [=m] Type : tristate Prompt: Oren OR51132 based ------------------- That file looks like the download and strip script to put those 2 files into /lib/firmware, and both of those firmwares are present in /lib/firmware, but how they actually get loaded is _not_ at all clear. There is in this machine, a /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware tree also, were these files miss-placed? I can put copies both places I guess. Actually, they were simlinks, and that was missing, so I made one. Reboot again after adding simple_tuner. Thanks Mike, Ilia. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
