Hi All, I recently went through a bit of an 'episode' after an upgrade to 0.4.0 that I thought I would relay in case it helps anyone else out.
1st: 0.4.0 installed to wrong directory I run debian unstable/sid with the stock 2.6.12-1-686 kernel as such ivtv should be installed to /lib/modules/2.6.12-1-686/ivtv however make install installed ivtv to /lib/modules/2.6.12/ivtv. Figuring out why my old 0.2.0 version of ivtv kept loading took a while ;-). Copying the files from /lib/modules/2.6.12/ivtv to /lib/modules/2.6.12-1-686/ivtv solved the problem. I had a quick look at the driver/Makefile2.6 and didn't see an obvious reason why it installed the modules to the wrong directory, but I know next to nothing about Makefile syntax. uname -r returns the proper 2.6.12-1-686. Thinking back I recall this happening on at least one other occassion with a 0.2.0 version. 2nd: Nothing but static on 2nd and 3rd encoders My first encoder (PVR-250) worked fine, however my second and third (both M179s) produced nothing but static. The output from the IVTV loading showed the following error where the tuner information would normally be: card 1: ivtv1 warning: i2c client addr: 0x00 not found for command 0x4004760f! card 2: ivtv2 warning: i2c client addr: 0x00 not found for command 0x40307603! This lead me to the thread here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg08472.html I had already renamed the following stock kernel modules: msp3400.ko.old tda9887.ko.old tuner.ko.old tveeprom.ko.old and had rebooted the machine (numerous times :-p) since the renaming so these modules could not have been loaded but... Just to humour myself I unloaded i2c_core, i2c_viapro, i2c_algo_bit, msp3400, tda9887, saa7115, tveeprom, tuner, and ivtv and then reloaded ivtv. This did the trick and the tuners on all three cards were correctly loaded and I am now getting proper output from all three cards. I haven't had a chance to look into what the heck was going on and why unloading/reloading the modules would make a difference, but I see I had i2c-algo-bit, msp3400, saa7115, tuner listed in /etc/modules in addition to ivtv which may have been the cause. I'll reboot at some point to confirm whether this was the problem. - Ben -- A: Because it destroys the flow of conversation.
