New to ZM - just got 2 PV-981a-16 cards from bluecherry. The box is fresh CentOS 5.4 x86_64 build.

I am trying to figure out how to get these cards setup in zm. From what I have been reading -- for a 2 card 32 channel setup -- I should have video0 through video15. With 2 channels per video device. Currently I have video0 through video7 with 2 channels. Is there any way to get the other card to get recognized?

Any help would be apprecaited.

this is not the stuff for you card but simmler if your modprobe file is setup for a 4 cam 2 chip card card=77,77 tuner=4,4

now for 2 of the the same cards card=77,77,77,77 tuner=4,4,4,4

so basically whatever you have in there double it for the second card.
