Hi,
I installed a Hauppauge HD-PVR and it appears to work great when installed under Windows but I can't get it to work under Gentoo Linux.
I've tried the module for it with the kernel gentoo-sources versions 2.6.30-r6 and 2.6.31-21 but I don't get any /dev/video device when I load the hdpvr module (Doesn't help if I compile it into the kernel either).
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can try to make it work?
Justin

Edit:
Here is the listing showing no devices:
Code:
srvlin ~ # ls /dev/video
ls: cannot access /dev/video: No such file or directory
srvlin ~ # stat /dev/video*
stat: cannot stat `/dev/video*': No such file or directory


Current 'uname -a' value:
Code:
srvlin ~ # uname -a

lsusb showing the device is plugged in and turned on:

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't appear to be there either.
Code:
srvlin ~ # ls /dev/dvb
ls: cannot access /dev/dvb: No such file or directory
srvlin ~ #

I asked on the mythtv-users mailing list about this at http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2010-February/281462.html and I now have the solution.

Sorry to bump such an old topic, but I have the same issue. My HD-PVR shows up as device 4903. I see how I need to edit my driver files, which I have done, but how to I now compile and use the compiled drivers?

You need to run make menuconfig and select "Hauppauge HD PVR support" (Configuration Parameter is CONFIG_VIDEO_HDPVR), press M to compile it as a module.
Next, if you edited the kernel sources then you need to do:
Code:
make modules
make modules_install

Or, if you downloaded the v4l-dvb tree then:
Code:
make
make install

After that you can run modprobe hdpvr to load and use it. When your system starts udev should automatically load the module.
