Hi, I've bought a new computer 3 or 4 months ago and I've put a hauppauge pvr 500 mce in it. First I was running mandriva 2006 and got it working. Then I installed gentoo but it didn't work on gentoo. When paritition magic blew my mandriva partition up, I couldn't get it working on mandriva either. I followed the gentoo-wiki (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_PVR_500_Setup) which explains how to install a hauppauge pvr 500 on gentoo, but it didn't work. At the very beginning it says this:
You should first check to see if your tuner will even work. [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ dmesg | grep -i irq | grep -i disabl This should give no results. If it lists something, it may mean that there are IRQ conflicts. on one of my systems, the tv card and sound card required some specific PCI slots. That's where it went wrong, I got this output: ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNK1] (IRQs 3 4 5 7 9 10 11 12 14 15) *0, disabled. ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNK2] (IRQs 3 4 5 7 9 10 11 12 14 15) *0, disabled. ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNK4] (IRQs 3 4 5 7 9 10 11 12 14 15) *0, disabled.

I get this message on mandriva too, but I don't know if I got this when this card worked, so I don't know if I have to solve this problem or just ignore it. When I ran coldplug when my system was starting, it couldn't load the pci devices. When I couldn't find any way to solve it, I just ignored it. I tried to install ivtv by installing the portage package (0.4.2), but it wouldn't work. It was complaining that he couldn't find the modules and firmware. Then I downloaded ivtv and installed it from source (0.4.2 and 0.4.3). But this didn't made any sense. I got the same like messages. This is what i get when I type dmesg |grep ivtv: ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== ivtv: version 0.4.3 (tagged release) loading ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.15-ck3-r1 SMP gcc-3.4 ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info between ivtv: the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines, along with ivtv: any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist. ivtv0: User specified WinTV PVR 150 card (detected cx23416 based chip) ivtv0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) ivtv0: Failed to load module tveeprom ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x50 not found for command 0x0! ivtv0: Error -19 reading Hauppauge eeprom. ivtv0: Possible causes: the tveeprom module was not loaded, or ivtv0: the eeprom kernel module was loaded before the tveeprom module. ivtv0: Failed to load module tuner ivtv0: Failed to load module cx25840 ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x44 not found for command 0xc008561c! ivtv0: Failed to load module wm8775 ivtv0: Failed to load module tda9887 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 0000:06:08.0 failed with error -12 ivtv0: User specified WinTV PVR 150 card (detected cx23416 based chip) ivtv0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) ivtv0: Failed to load module tveeprom ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x50 not found for command 0x0! ivtv0: Error -19 reading Hauppauge eeprom. ivtv0: Possible causes: the tveeprom module was not loaded, or ivtv0: the eeprom kernel module was loaded before the tveeprom module. ivtv0: Failed to load module tuner ivtv0: Failed to load module cx25840 ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x44 not found for command 0xc008561c! ivtv0: Failed to load module wm8775 ivtv0: Failed to load module tda9887 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 0000:06:09.0 failed with error -12 ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ==================== I mainly focussed on these lines: ivtv0: unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw ivtv0: did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory? I followed the ivtvdriver tutorial how to get the right firmware. I checked them with md5sum and everything was allright. I've put them in /usr/lib64/hotplug/firmware: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls /usr/lib64/hotplug/firmware v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg v4l-cx25840.fw /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent: FIRMWARE_DIR=/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/ (/usr/lib/ is linked to /usr/lib64) Still he is complaining that he can't open the firmware. This is where I can't imagine anything to solve this problem: it just should work, I can't find anything wrong. Here's some information about my system: Motherboard: Asus A8N-E Kernel: 2.6.15-ck3 (this can't be the problem, can it?) ivtv used: portage ivtv 0.4.2 and ivtv from source 0.4.2 and 0.4.3 Did I forget anything? I hope you guys can help me. Thanks in advantage, Michael Btw: my english isn't verry good because it's not my native language. But please correct it when I'm using wrong expressions etc. _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
