However I believe your solution would work too, in FC4 the file in which you put things that you don't want to load at boot is called blacklist ie: /etc/hotplug/blacklist The real problem is that the vender ID for the blackbird chip and the pchdtv hd3000 both have the same mask used in /lib/modules/KERNEL/modules.pcimap. If the dvb-blackbird is listed first in that file, when the pchdtv hd-3000 is seen the dvb-blackbird driver tries to be loaded instead of the dvb_cx88 driver for pchdtv card. The same problem exists for the HD-2000 DVB driver in that the bt878 module can get loaded instead. The incorrect modules.pcimap is created when running depmod because maintainers for the blackbird and bt878 audio drivers used 0x for both the vender and model information. I believe the pchdtv vender id is 0x7306 (Or was it 0x7603 or 7063? hmm...) and the model is 0x3000 for the hd3000 and 0x2000 for the hd2000. I'm not sure what the blackbird and bt878 id's are as I don't have the cards. I've made a couple calls and I know the problem will be fixed with the next suse 10.0 beta2 and was told these would be pushed upward in the kernel tree, so hopefully by 2.6.13 rc7 or 2.6.14 rc's it will be fixed. If you're using FC, it will be FC5 or FC6 when the changes take place hopefully. --Brandon ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Thank you very much Tom, it worked! You would not believe how many hours I spent trying to get this right. The secret must be the --ignore-install bttv bit.

The system
recognises the cards with no problems and loads the bttv

What should happen
next is that it loads the frontend drivers, however it
doesn't.
I can manually load
the frontends by running modprobe dvb-bt8xxas root:
DVB: registering new
adapter (bttv0).dst_get_device_id: Recognise [DTTDIG]DST type :
terrestrialDST type flags : 0x10 firmware version = 2DVB: registering
frontend 0 (DST DVB-T)...DVB: registering new adapter
(bttv1).dst_get_device_id: Recognise [DTTDIG]DST type :
terrestrialDST type flags : 0x10 firmware version = 2DVB: registering
frontend 1 (DST DVB-T)...
After this if I
start mythbackend everything is fine.
I currently am
working around this by using used rc.local to load the dvb frontends ie:
modprobe dvb-bt8xx,and then /sbin/service mythbackend
start
But I don't like
this, it must be possible to make it all work with modprobe.conf. I have tried
numerous modeprobe.conf configurations, but obviously not the correct
one.
My current
modprobe.conf is:
alias
scsi_hostadapter ata_piixalias snd-card-0 snd-hda-inteloptions
snd-card-0 index=0options snd-hda-intel index=0options saa7134 oss=1

i2c_hw=1; /sbin/modprobe dvb-core; /sbin/modprobe v4l1-compat; /sbin/modprobe
v4l2-common; /sbin/modprobe video-buf; /sbin/modprobe dst; /sbin/modprobe bt878;
/sbin/modprobe dvb-bt8xx; /bin/true; }# remove dvb { /sbin/modprobe -r
dvb-bt8xx dst bt878 video-buf v4l2-common v4l1-compat dvb-core bttv videodev;
}alias
usb-controller1 ehci-hcd
After hours of googling and experimenting with
modprobe.conf, I gave up and used the rc.local route to load the dvb frontend
and myth backend
what am I
doing wrong?
Cheers and
thanks in advance
David
