I've been trying to get a PVR-500MCE working on my dual Xeon machine and I'm having real problems. I'm replacing a PVR-250 which seemed to work fine but I need/want the dual tuners. This is all on a FC3 system running 2.6.12 SMP.
I have built the most recent ivtv (0.3.6z), pulled the drivers from the CD (and tried downloading) and put them in /lib/modules. If I'm not careful how I load modules the entire machine hangs but I'm not to the point where I do the following: modprobe tveeprom modprobe videodev modprobe ivtv and it usually completes but it takes a while and generates the following output: ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== ivtv: version 0.3.6 (z) loading ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.12-prep SMP preempt PENTIUMIII REGPARM gcc-3.4 ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info ivtv: between the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines when ivtv: mailing the ivtv-devel mailinglist. ivtv: Autodetected WinTV PVR 150 card ivtv: Found an iTVC16 based chip ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:08.0[A] -> GSI 48 (level, low) -> IRQ 209 ivtv: XXX PCI device: 0x2540 vendor: 0x8086 ivtv: i2c attach [client=tveeprom,ok] tveeprom: The eeprom says no radio is present, but the tuner type tveeprom: indicates otherwise.
