Yes, this could work, but i would extend/change it a little bit.

I would do the check for the running kernel inside makedev, so that
"MAKEDEV dvb" decides which major-version to use, depending on the
running kernel. (kernel >=3D 2.6.8-rc3 -> char-major-212, otherwise 250)

Then the init-script (which makedev allready uses) would just need to=20
call "MAKEDEV dvb" (but only when /dev/dvb/ allready exists).

Thomas
