Hi,
Thanks for your help. After reading what Marty said about hotplug and
udev, what I tried was:
Start with a clean Etch install, then
# apt-get install hotplug
# mkdir /dev/dvb
# mkdir /dev/dvb/adapter0
# mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0 c 212 0
# mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter0/audio0 c 212 1
# mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 c 212 3
# mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 c 212 4
# mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 c 212 5
# mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter0/ca0 c 212 6
# mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter0/net0 c 212 7
# mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter0/osd0 c 212 8
Bingo! My DVB card works as good as new.
BTW I also noticed this in /var/log/messages. It's probably been there
some time...
Sep 8 21:08:22 rmstar2 kernel: videodev: "SAA7146A" has no release
callback. Please fix your driver for proper sysfs support, see

I wonder if that's why the dvb device wasn't being created by udev. So
I created them myself, but then I also needed hotplug to recognise them
after boot time. Could it be something like that?
Anyway, I'm a happy bunny. I've even got my new web cam working
(although black screens at the moment).
Thanks again for your insight.
Regards,
Steve Duncan
