Darren's runvdr and automatic load of module pb

[Dominique Dumont]

Hello

I'm running Darren's vdr on a 2.6.11 machine with a Nova-CI card.

I'm having some issue with my CAM which lead to an exit of vdr:

Dec 15 11:16:25 gandalf vdr[3075]: CAM: Viaccess, 01, 0500, 0500
Dec 15 11:16:39 gandalf vdr[3075]: channel 26 (M6 Music Hits) event 11:16 'DON'T
 CHA> THE PUSSYCAT DOLLS' status 4
Dec 15 11:16:42 gandalf vdr[3075]: ERROR: video data stream broken
Dec 15 11:16:42 gandalf vdr[3075]: initiating emergency exit
Dec 15 11:16:42 gandalf vdr[3075]: emergency exit requested - shutting down

Once vdr has exited, runvdr unloads all dvb modules:

Dec 15 11:16:44 gandalf vdr[3059]: reloading modules, restarting vdr
Dec 15 11:16:54 gandalf kernel: saa7146: unregister extension 'budget_ci dvb'.

Then runvdr tries to reload only 'dvb' module although my card needs
the budget-ci module:

Dec 15 11:16:54 gandalf vdr[3059]: modprobe dvb failed: status 1

Curiously enough, even though reloading the modules has failed, runvdr
still restarts vdr:

Dec 15 11:16:56 gandalf vdr[3059]: vdr started, pid 10709
Dec 15 11:16:56 gandalf vdr[10709]: VDR version 1.3.37 started

I guess that runvdr man page should mention that an alias line is
required in /etc/modprobde.d like:

  alias dvb budget-ci


HTH

PS: I'm still trying to find out why my CAM is less reliable since
vdr-1.3.37. Any idea is welcome...
