I had the same problem on FC3, i'm guessing you are running udev.

I solved it by putting the following in my rules file 
(/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules)

KERNEL="dvb"  Name="dvb0"

KERNEL="dvb0.dvr*",        NAME="dvb/adapter0/dvr%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.demux*",      NAME="dvb/adapter0/demux%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.frontend*",   NAME="dvb/adapter0/frontend%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.audio*",      NAME="dvb/adapter0/audio%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.ca*",         NAME="dvb/adapter0/ca%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.osd*",        NAME="dvb/adapter0/osd%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.net*",        NAME="dvb/adapter0/net%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.video*",      NAME="dvb/adapter0/video%n"

There's probably a cleaner solution, but it works for me (only one tuner 
card, I expect extra bits needed otherwise).
