Damn.
I really thought you had it this time.
I went back and CAREFULLY rebuilt the kernel from the 2.6.9 sources
with the ALL-2.6.9-rc4.diff and dag-2.6.9-rc4.patch mentioned on
your 2.6.9-rc2 page.

The other patches: msp, isofs, harirq all had seemed to have
already made it into to 2.6.9 (final).

But the bad news is that there is no change in the dtvscan behaviour,
still the 'bad' minor number and no stations recognized.  [[ and for
reference, I HAVE tried dtvsignal also, but it just sits on 000 ]]

there seem to be two interesting things with the new kernel:
(1)  The following lines in /var/log/messages

    Dec 10 11:31:06 MythTV kernel: bttv0: registered device video1

    Dec 10 11:31:11 MythTV wait_for_sysfs[3196]: either wait_for_sysfs (udev 
043) needs an update to
 dandle the device '/class/video4linux/video1' properly (no device symlink) or 
the sysfs-support of
your device's driver needs to be fixed, please report to 
<linux-hotplug-devel at lists.sourceforge.net>

The first line shows that /dev/video1 was 'registered' (more on that below).

There are four lines in the center about 'dvr' and Invalid Version Index Data 
which I havent
seen before, and which are new.

Finaly the last line, which appears to be a udev complaint, and which I assume 
is unrelated.

(2) Re /dev/video1 being 'registered'.
In previous kernels I have been able to OPEN /dev/video1, but a 'cat 
/dev/video1' resulted
in no output.  With the current kernel /dev/video1 cant be opened.  Which 
brings up the
question: in ./setup, Under 'Capture Cards', should I have /dev/video1 or 
/dev/dtv for
'Video Device' ? Currently I have /dev/video1, and this now produces an eror 
when I
start mythbackend (since I cant be opened).

---

So, am I still missing something (are there more bttv fixes)?
This is slow-going, but Im going to keep fighting it...
