Re: PCI/IRQ hardware question

Every thread on the MLUG list should have a happy ending :-) so I guess I end 
this one with a positive spin.

While I had thought I might have an IRQ or some other sort of problem, I 
hadn't mentally ruled out a kernel compile problem. 

To cut a long story short, I received off list some dmesg, lsmod and lspci 
output from someone on another list who has a fusion dvb-T plus running on 
slack. This confirmed that I did not have some modules onboard and I 
recompiled with 2.6.11.9 source I had lying around and a patch which enabled 
compiling of modules required for this card 

The 2.6.12 kernel was supposed to have incorporated this patch (it was 
disabled in previous versions) maybe I did not pay close enough attention 
when I did up my 12.6.12-rc4 .config. I'll worry about that later.

For now I have 10 and 7 digital running ok with tzap and dvbstream piped to 
mplayer so that's a start. No sound with 9 and no abc or sbs yet but I'm sure 
thats a configuration problem as these channels are ok on our digital stb on 
the same antennae and we are virtually line of site to Mt Dandenong.

This has been a pain and I'll probably script something simple with the above 
aps and gmessage so I can take a break and watch ABC and SBS when Am Id is 
on. I'll worry about setting up MythTv or Freevo after I've had a break.


Robert Moonen is a darn nice person I don't care what anybody says!

Robert thanks for your interest but it became a redundant issue and time was 
in high demand.
