Re: [Xen-users] DVB tuner not working in PV guest

I'm trying to setup a new home server, and part one is getting a new version of MythTV running. Host is Debian with Xen4.0.1 and kernel 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64, PV guest is also Debian with kernel 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64. I have a DVB-T tuner (HVR-1200, PCIe card) I am trying to use in the guest with pciback.hide etc. The whole thing is running on an HP Proliant Microserver I bought while HP had a mail-in rebate going.

If I boot the host without Xen, I can access the card with dvbtune and it lists the channels in a multiplex :
<snip>
And the card shows up in the boot log :
02:00.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23885 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 02)

I've hidden the card from Dom0 by adding "xen-pciback.hide=(02:00.0)" to the grub config.


When I boot the guest, I can see it's tuner card
eddi kernel: [ 25.348011] cx23885[0]/0: found at 0000:00:00.0, rev: 2, irq: 16, latency: 0, mmio: 0xfe600000

But if I try to access it with dvbtune, it can't detect any channels :

# dvbtune -f 801833000 -i
Using DVB card "NXP TDA10048HN DVB-T"

No ideas ?
Any suggestions where to look or further information I need to provide ?
