Terratec Cinergy C DVB-C card problems

Terratec Cinergy C DVB-C card problems

[Billy Brumley]

Hi,

I've got a terratec cinergy c dvb-c card, fresh install of ubuntu
10.04 lucid i386. Card is here:

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TerraTec_Cinergy_C_DVB-C

I followed the install instructions under "Driver", installing the one from

http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin

dmesg output afterwards:

http://dpaste.com/202745/

and lsmod/lspci:

http://dpaste.com/202150/

The previous install that worked nicely was hardy, using
mantis-a9ecd19a37c9 that refused to compile with lucid's more recent
kernel. Any ideas?

Billy

I don't know what's wrong with your installation, but you may want to
try installing the mantis driver without completely replacing the
dvb-core.

FYI, the mantis driver will be included in the next Debian 2.6.32 based
kernel release thanks to the excellent Debian kernel team:
http://bugs.debian.org/57724 . I guess that means that it will be
available in Unbuntu soon as well.

Anyway, the patch from that bug report should easily apply to any 2.6.32
kernel without having to mess with the whole DVB system.

Hi,

The Mantis drivers are available in the Ubuntu kernel 2.6.33.

I installed this kernel on top of lucid using this PPA:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33/

Unfortunately, this kernel is built without the mantis module, after
installing the kernel I also compiled the kernel source and copied the
mantis modules into the /lib/modules/2.6.33-020633-
generic/misc/ directory and ran 'depmod -a'

I compiled the following modules to make it work:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10412 2010-05-27 18:15 hopper.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 45620 2010-05-27 18:15 mantis_core.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25624 2010-05-27 18:15 mantis.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25244 2010-05-27 18:21 mb86a16.ko

This is probably not the best approach, but it works.

For some reason this module is not automatically loaded during boot
with ubuntu, but I added 'modprobe mantis' to /etc/rc.local so that it
loads during bootup.

Best regards,

Rune

The mantis driver in linux 2.6.33-2.6.35-rc1 is still missing this patch:
http://jusst.de/hg/mantis-v4l-dvb/raw-rev/3731f71ed6bf

You can apply that on top of your Ubuntu 2.6.33 kernel if you want to
add auto loading.
