Given there looks like there's more activity on this list, rather than the ivtv-devel, I thought I might share my experiences here - in the hope of getting some help!!
I'm trying to get a new PVR-150 card and ivtv working with Fedora Core 5. So far I've tried the following kernels: 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 (from yum) and also 2.6.16.16 & 2.6.16.18 from the vanilla TAR archive. I have also tried ivtv-0.6.2 (from ivtvdriver.org) and the latest svn of ivtv-0.8.0 I get the same results with every combination. When the ivtv/i2c etc modules are first compiled and modprobe'd, the card works fine. If I do a 'reboot' the tveeprom either reports 'tveeprom 1-0050: Ran out of data!' or 'tveeprom 1-0050: Huh, no eeprom present (err=-121)?' and I get a bunch of 'ivtv0: i2c addr 0x44 not found for command XXX' and ivtv0: i2c hardware XXX not found for command XXXXX' If I unplug the PC for a few minutes and reboot, the modules load 75% of the time - until the next reboot. Here's the latest from dmesg: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# dmesg | grep tv ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== ivtv: version 0.8.0 (development revision 3310) loading ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.16.18 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.1 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: Autodetected Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 card (cx23416 based) ivtv0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) tveeprom 1-0050: Huh, no eeprom present (err=-121)? tveeprom 1-0050: Encountered bad packet header [00].

The tveeprom thing, I'm not sure about. I gather the reason it sometimes produces an error, is because it can't find the i2c device?? I've also now tried updating GCC to 4.1.1, but get the same results. _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
