I'm trying to write some rules for placement in the directory
/etc/udev/rules.d
for a HD3000 card.
The card and its drivers installed without too much trouble
on a new Fedora Core 3 system and the card actually works.
It's possible to watch live HDTV and record HDTV programs
on the disk.
Of course, this relative ease comes from the minstall script
included with the drivers. The script creates /dev/dtv[0-3],
a symlink for /dev/dtv, etc. But once the machine is shut
down and re-booted, the /dev/dtv's are all gone.
A temporary solution is to re-run (part of) the minstall script.
A more permanent solution would be to write some udev rules
so that the devices are present when the systems finishes
booting up.
I have hit dead-end after dead-end reading through all the udev
documentation, including this seemingly helpful webpage
http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php
Still, I can't figure out what KEY(s) to use -- I can't even
find out where in the /sys directory tree to find the path
for the udevinfo command.
Have you found a way to get the /dev/dtv devices created
with the correct major and minor nodes? If you have, please
leave a clue in this thread. I'll keep trying to figure out how
to write some rules, even if I have to just 'trial-and-error' until
something works. And I'll post any progress here, too.
Thanks for any help you might be able to find.
