Dear subscribers I have recently purchased a Hauppuage PVR 150 PCI TV/framegrabber card to use for my project. Unfortunately I have some minor problems to make it work on my Linux computer. Below I have attached the section of my dmesg output that concerns the loading of the ivtv kernel modules. As far as I can see the module has a problem with finding the firmware files. I find that pretty strange since I have double checked the path and file names, especially with regard to the potential hard to see misspelling of the v4l where the last character might be mistaken for the digit one. The content of the /lib/usr/hotplug/firmware folder is also attached below so that the content of this directory can be verified.
If I, even though the errors during boot, try the command "ivtvctl -a" the command responds "Failed to open /dev/video0: No such device" and the following two lines are added to dmesg output: "bttv: disagrees about version of symbol tveeprom_hauppauge_analog bttv: Unknown symbol tveeprom_hauppauge_analog" I'm running Gentoo 2006.0 with the 2.6.15 kernel and have downloaded the 0.4.3 version of the Ivtv driver. The firmware are extracted from the files recommended at http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware, i.e. "pvr_1.18.21.22254_inf.zip" and "pvr_2.0.24.23035.zip". The computer hardware is a Lex MV823A (http://www.lex.com.tw) mini-ITX single board computer which is based on the VIA CLE266 platform. Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
