Bill,
Did you check the file I talked about in the email I sent yesterday?
The firmware howto (http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware)
talks about looking for a firmware.agent file that will have the
FIRMWARE_DIR line. Make sure to find that file and verify it matches
where the RPM put the firmware. Mine was in /etc/firmware on my 2.6.15
kernel. It said my firmware directory is in /lib/firmware. On my
install, /lib/firmware has 4 symbolic links pointing to
/lib/modules/*. It looks like this:
v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw -> /lib/modules/ivtv-fw-dec.bin
v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw -> /lib/modules/ivtv-fw-enc.bin
v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg -> /lib/modules/v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg
v4l-cx25840.fw -> /lib/modules/HcwMakoA.ROM
The big thing is that firmware.agent file. That FIRMWARE_DIR line shows
you where the firmware files should be located. If you have them there
(or the symlinks) it _should_ work.

Weird, it was working... well it's fixed now (yum, anyway). Everything's
updated.
Same error.
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 0000:02:05.0 failed with error -12
I went through everything again, I'm getting nowhere fast on this one.
