I just upgraded to FC3 (from FC1) yesterday. My main reason for procrastinating was the LVM1 to LVM2 switch, which should have gone ok except for some metadata issue which caused vgscan to function correctly, but to exit with a non-zero exit code which prevented vgchange from being run. That's totally OT, I know, but still.
I decided to give the all Axel RPM route a try and ended up with: kernel-2.6.9-1.667 ivtv-0.2.0-56_rc2z.rhfc3.at ivtv-firmware-1.8a-4.at ivtv-firmware-dec-2.02.023-4.at ivtv-firmware-enc-2.04.024-4.at kernel-module-ivtv-2.6.9-1.667-0.2.0-56_rc2z.rhfc3.at I added this to sysctl.conf: vm.min_free_kbytes=16384 ...because of some memory allocation errors I saw. Also, I had to make sure that tveeprom was loaded before eeprom. I guess in the past I had some modules.conf statements that handled that but needed to add something similar to modprobe.conf. My last concern is that ivtv isn't loaded automatically when mythbackend tries to access /dev/video*. In the past I think that's how it worked. I can just modprobe ivtv in the mythbackend startup script but every time I upgrade mythbackend I'll have to remember to change the startup script. Once ivtv is loaded udev creates the device files appropriately and mythbackend can access them. Am I missing some FC3/Linux-2.6 magic here? I guess most of this post is OT, but back to the ivtv stuff. I haven't seen a peep out of ivtv since I completed upgrading (or at least nothing indicating a problem) but I've only recorded a few shows. I have a pretty heavy recording schedule though so hopefully in a few days I'll drop back in and let you know if I've had any issues. Thanks to everyone (particularly Chris) for responding to and helping with my ivtv issues in the past! -- Aran Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
