<p class=MsoNormal>All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have been messing around with my Myth backend this weekend,
and am looking for a bit of guidance on how I can set specific cards to
specific adaptor numbers/IRQ’s.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have two DVB cards (at the moment) both using the SAA7146
chipset, one is DVB-T and the other DVB-S, as I say I have been messing around
quite a bit including pci slot swapping. Anyway, things got really messed up in
Myth when the DVB-S was suddenly /dev/dvb/adaptor0 as opposed to /dev/dvb/adaptor1
which it had always been recognised as.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Whilst this doesn’t present a massive problem at the
moment, as I am still configuring my backend (i.e. non-production), it struck
me that in the future if a card died (lets say /dev/dvb/adaptor0) and had to be
removed, this would then mess up all my other cards – as another card
would become /dev/dvb/adaptor0, with others renumbering also.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Ultimately my system with have either-<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>2 x SAA7146 DVB-S and 2 x SAA7146 DVB-T (with the 2 DVB-S
cards looking at different satellites hence different programming).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> or<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>3 x SAA7146 DVB-S and 1 x SAA7146 DVB-T (with the 3 DVB-S
cards looking at different satellites hence different programming).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>How can I pin a specific card to a specific /dev/dvb/adaptor
address and/or IRQ ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m running FC5 built using Jarods fantastic guide.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Cheers all<o:p></o:p></p>
