What I mean by the /dev filesystem is that in your /dev directory....you
will have a bunch of subdirectories like video, ide, etc. The non /dev file
system will have a huge amount of files...usually indicated by a yellow
color.
do this to test it out:
ls -la /dev/video
make sure the output is similar to this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jul 17 12:04 /dev/video ->
/dev/video0
if it gives you a listing like a group of files...then you have the /dev
filesystem and you need to figure something else out
make sure you reboot as well just to make sure everything is refreshed...I
had a problem when i ran myth on a slower machine...myth would lock and
then I would get this. I would also pull the latest bttv driver (not the
0.8 version...the latest 0.7) and run the MAKEDEV script in there.

Subject: Re: [mythtv] Question on compile!!!
I think my tv module is loaded see, this is my lsmod output. I am not
sure about the /dev filesystem. I think it is the new because I am
using red hat 7.3. Would you let me know where I might look. The
mythtv is using the correct device /dev/video0 becuase when it
starts up it probes it and finds there is a Television, Composite1,
and S-Video inputs on my card. That is given by the output of mythtv
which is below the lsmod output. Please help!!!

said something bout this...wish I had some time..I would write a patch. But
then of course..your hardware would need to support this as well, but most
do. I would check your documentation about the /dev file system to see what
you could do or maybe someone smarter than me has some clues?
