Hi Geeks I am trying again to install IVTV on a SuSE 10.1 AMD64 box. This time IVTV started to load but failed to find the firmware. On the user mailing list there seems a lot of discussion about it but even the latest tarball did not fix the problem. This is the DMESG output:
ivtv: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag. ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== ivtv: version 0.6.4 (development snapshot compiled on Sat Jul 8 15:48:05 2006) loading ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.16.13-4-default gcc-4.1 ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info between ivtv: the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines, along with ivtv: any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist. ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge WinTV PVR-350 card (cx23415 based) tuner 2-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #0) tda9887 2-0043: chip found @ 0x86 (ivtv i2c driver #0) saa7115 2-0021: saa7115 found @ 0x42 (ivtv i2c driver #0) saa7127 2-0044: saa7129 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #0) msp3400 2-0040: MSP4448G-A2 found @ 0x80 (ivtv i2c driver #0) 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 ivtv: probe of 0000:02:07.0 failed with error -12 ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ==================== I put the firmware in '/usr/bin/hotplug/firmware' as well as the old '/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware' directory. But neither seems to work. Any help - Andy P.S.: I could not figure out the right location of the hotplug firmware directory and so I was wondering how IVTV obtains it and if it would not be possible to print the location when IVTV cannot find the firmware. It for sure would help many developers. _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-devel
