I now have my PVR350 and PVR150 working fine with the ivtv 0.3.7a and Fedora Core3.  Since everyone has been so helpful, I wanted to provide some feedback on how I resolved this.

 

  • PVR-350 Working with Fedora and ivtv 0.2.0-rc3j
  • Added a PVR 150 and assumed that I needed ivtv 0.3.x
    (Still not sure if I needed to upgrade)
  • Upgraded to ivtv 0.3.6w using atrpms
  • For some reason, the option to disable saa7127 on the PVR 150 wasn’t working
                options saa7127 i2c_enable=1,-1
  • Suggestion about upgrading to 0.3.7a since this handles the drivers differently
  • Removed some RPMs (ivtvdev, ivtv-kmdl, and ivtv rpms)
  • Compiled and installed 0.3.7a
  • For some reason, the same problem persisted with the options.  I also noticed that the version from the /var/log/messages still showed 0.3.6w.
  • Since I had used “mkinitrd-ivtv /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r`” the old version was still in the RAM disk.
  • Tried rerunning the command but it failed looking for tveeprom-ivtv.  I did not try the suggestion about removing the ivtv from the program.
  • I rebuilt the RAM disk with “mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r`”
  • Rebooted
  • PVR 150 and PVR 350 works

 For detail see above.

 

** /etc/modprobe.conf ***

# ivtv modules setup

alias char-major-81 videodev

alias char-major-81-0 ivtv

alias char-major-81-1 ivtv

# Use following two lines for PVR350 Svideo-Out with frame buffer

options saa7127 i2c_enable=1,-1 output_select=1

install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb

 

Thanks to all. Now onto the next part of Myth.
