hi all, is it possible that a pci card does not appear in lspci (supported by kernel) when installed (hardware) in computer?
case is: my laptop hdd crashed together with mainboard power control problems. ibm is searching for spare parts and hopefully will fix it tomorrow. in the meantime i took my old computer (compaq pressario 4830 - 266mhz 160mb, 9 years old) and installed arch on it. everything fine (ftp-install from 0.7-base), as this is not a laptop, i tried to run a tv-card (brand new... got it as gift some weeks ago) in it. it's pctv 110i and should be supported by kernel. the worst thing is: it does not appear in lspci -v at all! i'm now wondering how this is possible. i even tried to exchange cards (network and pctv) and in lspci the network card changes slot number but the pctv does not show up. if i try to load the needed module it shows up... but says something about "needs EFBF" whatever this is...: [EMAIL PROTECTED] damir]# modprobe saa7134 Linux video capture interface: v1.00 bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture bttv: Host bridge needs ETBF enabled. saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.14 loaded does anybody know a reson for not "seeing" this card? i cannot install windows on this machine, because i cannot find the 9 year old win95b install cd or winnt4 cds... and newer windows i only have as rescue discs... not very useful with such old hardware... i cannot test if card works. bios of computer has no options related to pci. knoppix 3.9 shows same results as in arch (no pctv in lspci) if it may be related to kernel/udev, here the versions: kernel26 2.6.15-2 udev 079-1 any input/help welcome, - D -- 266MHz is enough! _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
