I found this mail list thread, and did what they had done. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/28686? search_string=did%20you%20put%20the%20firmware%20in%20the%20hotplug% 20firmware%20directory%3F;#28686
I did this, and now ivtv.o loads just fine. Not sure why the file size hasn't changed for /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug ... Before, I had verified the file was empty, initially. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# echo /sbin/hotplug >> /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls -al /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2006-07-12 15:52 /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug /sbin/hotplug Thanks for your attention. I'll soon see how it behaves recording and playback. ----- Original Message ----- From: Andreas Schaefer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wednesday, July 12, 2006 3:30 pm Subject: Re: [ivtv-devel] did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory?
