[mythtv-users] Nova-HD-S2 xen passthrough 2.6.18 [SOLVED]

[alex at apics.co.uk]

Hi All,
      Well I've answered my own question, incase it helps anyone else the
issue was caused as my domU build didn't have udev installed.  A simple
apt-get install udev did the trick.  I'll put that error down to working
after too many beers, too late at night! ;-)

Cheers

Alex

Subject: [mythtv-users] Nova-HD-S2 xen passthrough 2.6.18

Hi All,
        I was wondering if anyone has got a Hauppauge Nova-HD-S2 card
working via PCI pass through in xen....  I think I'm just about there,
using the xen.org 2.6.18 kernel, and the latest v4l, I have managed to get
the device passed through, and recognised...  The problem appears to be the
modules are creating the frontend for the device (as show in the output
below).... Has any one seen this before, I can't find any mention of it
anywhere..... If I manually modprobe cx24116 (which I think is the frontend
it should use) the module loads, but doesn't output anything into dmesg
(and doesn't create any frontends)
        Any pointers would be much appreciated......

Thanks in advance

Alex
