The error message I am getting ivtv0: unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw ivtv0: did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory? ivtv0 warning: failed loading encoder firmware ivtv0 warning: Error loading firmware -3! ivtv0: Error -3 initializing firmware. ivtv0: Error -12 on initialization
I'm using 2.6.16 kernel I'm using Fedora Core 5 This is a clean install I did a yum upgrade Installed the 2.6.16-1.2069 kernel I installed the ivtv-0.6.0 driver I copied the firmwares to the /lib/module directory and I tried the /lib/firmware. I went to see why things weren't working and read this on the ivtv 0.6 release. - Firmware hotplug support is now REQUIRED. "Post the errors you get rather than links to places you think mean it is broken" I was doing the above to let you know I tried to do some research before I posted here. I hate when people post questions without at least doing a google search! Honestly if you have gotten this to work on FC5 then just let me know what directory you placed the firmware files. I should be able to get it to work the rest of the way. --- Chad Delatte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Message: 1 > > Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 19:27:17 -0800 (PST) > > From: Chad Delatte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Subject: [ivtv-devel] Hotplug support removed from > > FC5 > > To: [email protected] > > Message-ID: > > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 > > > > I cannot install my pvr250 or 350 b/c the hotplug > > support has been removed.
