Apologies, I’m not saying things very well. The kworld card is going to be probed at slightly different times in each boot sequence. That’s normal. In the first log output you posted it happened at the 21 second mark but it seems after your reboot the card is being probed at a different time because there’s no relevant output during the 21st second.

So, start with one of these:

	dmesg | grep -i -E "kworld|dvb”

and take note of when the saa7134 output starts happening (if it’s not there then do a “modprobe saa7134” as root). Then, do one of these:

	dmesg | grep -E ‘NN[.]’

where NN is the time of the saa7134 messages. That will be the interesting output and hopefully it doesn’t cross a seconds boundary.

One more thing: if/when we do get this card recognized you’re going to end up with two adapters in /dev/dvb and no consistency as to the numbering. Sometimes the kworld will be adapter1 and sometimes adapter0. Myth, on the other hand, is configured to expect your cable digital tuner to be adapter0 and if the kworld suddenly appears there you’ll lose recordings. It’s easy to handle this but until you get to that point you can “rm /etc/modprobe.d/pc150u.conf” when you’re done experimenting and put it back the next time you work on getting the card recognized.
