Should already be fixed in 2.6.16-rc6, with this patch that went in
after 2.6.16-rc5 came out:
	http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=91c0bce29e4050a59ee5fdc1192b60bbf8693a6d

Pete, can you verify this change works for you?

thanks,

Jiri, why did you create a kernel.org bugzilla bug with almost no
information in it?

Anyway, this is the first I've heard of this, more information is
needed to help track it down.  How about the contents of /sys/class/dvb/ ?

thanks,

Hello,

sorry for that, I expected Tom to help us track this down -- he has this
problem, but he haven't replied yet. Nobody else is complaining, would we defer
or close it for now?

Stradis is not a DVB driver. AFAIK it uses V4L devices.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6170 and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=181063
seem to be two totally different bugs. First thing to check
for the Nova-T is dmesg, to see if the device was recognized
at all by the driver, so we know if it is an udev
problem or not.


BTW: http://mpeg.openprojects.net/ doesn't exist

Stradis does not support my driver.   Please use
http://stradis.nathanlaredo.com/  such as it is now and I'll update it
later.

Secondly, please confirm that the person reporting this bug actually
has the hardware since the driver *will* refuse to load without
hardware installed.

To my knowledge I am currently the only one of about 10 people using
this hardware under linux.

Apologies for the lack of additional information, this is simply a lack 
of time on my behalf.  My first attempt to bisect 2.6.15 <-> 2.6.16-rc5 
produced a kernel which caused udev to crash (and stop init).  I will 
shift the goalposts and try again.  Once I have the results I will post 
them to bugzilla.  I will also post the contents of /sys/class/dvb as 
requested above.

Thanks,

Tom.
