LinuxQuestions.org - Problem with 2nd DVB-S PCI card (Technisat Skystar 2)

He guys,

I´m running Mythbuntu 10.04 Beta with the latest updates. On my system, I have installed 2 USB DVB-T Tuners and 2 DVB-S PCI Tuners (Technisat Skystar 2) but the second one does not show up in /dev/dvb!

So the situation in /dev/dvb is as follows:

The first Technisat DVB-S tuner (/dev/dvb/adapter0)
The two usb dvb-t tuners (/dev/dvb/adapter1 and /dev/dvb/adapter2)

The second DVB-S tuner is simply not there.

lspci is fine so far:

Maybe it´s a more general problem with PCI..?

Strange detail: I had to install mythbuntu a few times and when I installed it for the first time, all tuners showed up like they should.

Thanks for your help,
