I had a similar issue after upgrading to 2.6.20 (debian) to make my new
Gigabyte 965P-DS3P PC work
with a Nova-T card. Previously under 2.6.17 it just "worked", however
now I need to do (all seemed to be necessary to get the firmware to load
and order seemed to be important):
modprobe saa7146
modprobe saa7146_vv
modprobe ttpci-eeprom
modprobe budget-core
modprobe budget
modprobe budget-ci
modprobe tda1004x
modprobe mxb
chown -hR root:video dvb
chmod -R 777 /dev/dvb
Hopefully this will save someone else a few hours of pulling their hair
out after midnight.
Now if I could just convince ALSA to recognise that the onboard sound
actually has a mixer.....
Lachlan :o)
