Hello again, Well I got it to work using tvtime on the regular channels, now to start figuring out what else it can do.
Is this close to your dmesg output for your card ?

Hi Mike,
Can't help you with question 1 (I using a different flavor of Linux and I have the older HD-2000 card).
As far as question 2, I believe all you'll need are the tools from dvb-apps (available from the linuxtv.org CVS server) and perhasp dvbstream. In particular, the "azap" program will tune and give you signal strength, and there are several test programs that will allow you to record.
I like to use dvbstream to get the HD stream off of the card, and then I use mplayer to actually watch a channel (dvbstream is available from sourceforge.org, you'll have to download the code from their CVS tree as the last distribution package available didn't include the ATSC modifications necessary for tuning channels from OTA ATSC broadcasts here in the US).
Good luck,
Don S.

But anyways can you give me some pointers of what steps to do next?
1. What enteries need to be put in the modprobe.conf to get my HD-3000 to work?
2. Do I still need to compile any of the tools or drivers from the manufactures website?

Hello,
My card is an HD-2000, so my output is somewhat different, but the important parts (as far as I know) are the registration of devices by DVB (bolded below in your output). Here are the relevant parts of my dmesg output:
| Code: | DVB: registering new adapter (bttv0).
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Oren OR51211 VSB Frontend).. |
If everything booted and initialized correctly, you should have the these devices:
| Code: | bash-2.05b# ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0/
total 0
crw------- 1 root root212, 4 Dec 31 1969 demux0
crw------- 1 root root212, 5 Dec 31 1969 dvr0
crw------- 1 root root212, 3 Dec 31 1969 frontend0
crw------- 1 root root212, 7 Dec 31 1969 net0
|
You should be able to use azap (or some other tool) to tune into an ATSC HD channel now. Apparently you "tune" using the frontend0 device and grab video output from the demux0 and dvr0 devices. I'm not sure what the net0 device is for.

Kernel stil does not boot up |
|

HDTV buff,
I rebuild the kernel with the new configuration file from http://freepages.iqsystems.net/~ikhan/linux/linux-2.6.12-rc2.config . as you recommended it. Unfortunately I have almost the same result kernel does not booy up with slightly different output:
Red Hat nash version 4.1.18 starting
insmod: error inserting ‘/lib/ide-disk.ko’: -1 Unknown symbol in module
ERROR: /bin/insmod exited abnormally!
umount /sys failed: 16
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
switchroot: mount failed 22
umount /initrd/dev failed 2
Kernel panic – not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
As I stated before I tried to verify, if my actions are correct, by rebuilding and booting the kernel 2.6.11 with no patches, in this case everything works with no problems.
Could you recommend me what else must be checked?
Thanks in advance,
AR |

Check to see if you got a initrd file for the kernel in /boot directory. From the above messages, it looked like you do not have this file. To make it, check the man page for mkinitrd. |
|
|
|
|
|
The initrd file exists in /boot directory |

The initrd file exists in /boot directory, otherwise I would not be able to boot the rebuilt version of the kernel 2.6.11. I modified EXTRAVERSION variable, so kernel had a unique name and an old intitrd file could not be used. I hope, it proves that I am building the kernel correctly.
I posted my message only when I had filled than my own capabilities had been exhausted. Anyway I appreciate your help.

AR,
Try using your .config file from your 2.6.11.
If it works with the .config file from 2.6.11, then the problem is my .config file. If it still does not work, then we is a missing step somewhere.
I use Debian unstable as my distribution. Therefore, any directions or help about any other distribution is somewhat of a guess on my part.
If you have a correct initrd file, then it should work. I can't think of anything else (in terms of compiling the kernel).
If all else fails, you may want to google for a pre-compiled 2.6.12-rc2 kernel. I am sure you can find it for your distribution.

Firmware and other files corrupt?? |

I'm having problems decompressing anything I download.
(Yes I have tried multiple machines, and multiple OSes, and multiple browsers)
Here is what I get under FC3:
# tar zxf firmware.tar.gz
tar: Skipping to next header
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
I'm guessing there is file server problems or the data is corrupt.
Any body got a mirror? |

Thanks for all of your hard work. 2.6.12-rc2 will be the most anticipated kernel release of all time.
Being able to use the hd2000 and pvr 250 at the same time will be hugely important. |

I followed your instructions and all seemed like it went well. I was able to amke the RPM and install it...
Unfrotunately it did not adjust the grub.. So I tried to do that manualy, heres what I did
# /sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.12-rc2.img 2.6.12-rc2
No error, so I adjusted the grub to look like this:
title Fedora Core (2.6.12-rc2)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-rc2 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.12-rc2.img
After restarting I get the following error
mkrootdev: label /1 not found
mount: error 2 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
switchroot: mount failed:22
unmount /initro/dev failed 7
kernel panic - not syncing: attemped to kill init!
Any advise on how to get this Kernel installed with FC3 would be greately appericated, I'm dying to get my HD3000 card to work and I've tried the 2.0 drivers with no luck. |

I'm getting same error messages. Even used root=/dev/hda2 which is my root directory. Also tried the 2.6.12-rc3 kernel, same issue.
I dont know if we have to run make udev to fix it. Most probably that may be required. But I'm just afraid that it may break something else and I cant boot anything (including the current FC3 kernel).
Also looking for help on same issue !
Thanks

The problem is that you the following line is incorrect:
| Code: | | kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-rc2 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet |
Should this line be?
| Code: | | kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-rc2 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet |
Your label is not matching. Try the following command to show the correct label for your boot partition:
Then make sure that the label matches. Also pay close attention to the grub lines. A typo will make it unbootable.

Here's a quick HOWTO for pcHDTV 2000 and 2.6.12-r2 using Gentoo:
o Edit the /etc/make.conf and add "dvb" to the USE variable
o Select the following options when building the kernel (I used genkernel to make my kernel)
| Code: | -Drivers
-Multimedia Devices
<*> Video for Linux
-Video for Linux
<*> BT848 Video for Linux
-Digital Video Brodacasting Device
<*> DVB for Linux
<*> DVB Core Support
--Supported BT878 Adapters--
<*> Nebula/Pinnacle PCTV/Twinham PCI Cards
-- Customize DVB Frontends-- |
|
Does anyone know what the above should be for the pcHDTV-3000? I assume I should not choose any BT878 adapter. Do I need to choose something for the cx23883? Or is this somehow included already?
Also, do I need to choose anything for audio decoding? Anything else differently I might need in menuconfig? Thanks,
P-Sz |

Sure,
Just type this code (in your kernel source directory):
| Code: | # grep OR51 .config
CONFIG_DVB_OR51132=m
CONFIG_DVB_OR51211=m |
If you see both CONFIG_DVB_OR51132=m and CONFIG_DVB_OR51211=m then you configured it correctly. Otherwise you made a bad selection.
Please note that you cannot select these drivers directly. If you select video4linux and dvb correctly, then these drivers will be automatically compiled.

does "=m" mean a modularized kernel driver? I have them =y:
| Code: |
CONFIG_DVB_OR51132=y
CONFIG_DVB_OR51211=y |
Should I recompile the kernel with modularized DVB drivers, etc? Does anyone know of a good internet doc on the differences between modularized and built-in drivers when configuring the kernel? This confuses me. Thanks. |
