What service loads modules on bootup now? You mean like `modprobe -vr pvrusb2 modprobe -v pvrusb2`? I joined Gentoo in 2006 so I'm not sure if that is what you mean.

I hit the power button, and I heard a sound through the speakers similar to an error sound. I would say a barb sound, but I doubt any of you would be able to make sense of it. The only visual output of that computer is a video output component going to the TV set. I work on that computer through ssh from another one in another room. Should I just restart it manually? If not, how do I wake it up?

BTW: If your HVR behaves the same as my old PVR2, it can sometimes help to suspend and wake the system to get it working. OK. I restarted the computer. (I have never suspended that computer before and was unsure of what would happen, but I did not realize at the time that my the game running on my wife's computer was using a samba share that would be disrupted.) I had no luck with ivtv-firmware, so I have reinstalled linuxtv-dvb-firmware-2009.09.19. Now the output of dmesg has changed somewhat: michael@carter ~ $ dmesg | grep -i pvr pvrusb2: Hardware description: WinTV HVR-1950 Model 751xx usbcore: registered new interface driver pvrusb2 pvrusb2: V4L in-tree version:Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2 MPEG2 Encoder/Tuner pvrusb2: Debug mask is 31 (0x1f) pvrusb2: ***WARNING*** Device fx2 controller firmware seems to be missing. pvrusb2: Did you install the pvrusb2 firmware files in their proper location? pvrusb2: request_firmware unable to locate fx2 controller file v4l-pvrusb2-73xxx-01.fw pvrusb2: Failure uploading firmware1 pvrusb2: Device initialization was not successful. pvrusb2: Giving up since device microcontroller firmware appears to be missing. Does this help?
