Hi everybody!

I tried to install ivtv (version 0.4.4) on my Debian Linux (testing) but I
do not get the /dev/video0 device.

Here comes the output of "messages":

[...]

I just realized, that the output of "/var/log/syslog" is a bit more detailed:

I have kernel "Linux 2.6.15-1-686" and udev.

Basically I followed the "General Purpose (Main) Howto" to install ivtv.
The firmware did I take
from "http://www.heise.de/ct/ftp/projekte/vdr/firmware.shtml";. But I don't
think that did any bad, as ivtv writes that it has loaded the firmware.

Can anyone give me siome hints what might have gone wrong?

Kind regards,
Leonhard.

This looks like a case of you picking up the kernel modules instead of the ivtv specific modules.

Basically, you should go in, and for each module in (/lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/*.ko or /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ivtv/*.ko) make sure there isn't one in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video. If there is one, (I have tuner.ko, tveeprom.ko and tda9887.ko), rename the kernel based modules (the ones in .../kernel/drivers/media/video) to *.HIDE. Then run 'depmod -a' to realias all your modules. Then either reboot (easiest/cleanest), or you could try to selectively rmmod all the ivtv modules and then modprobe ivtv again.
