I was ignoring the IVTV messages I saw on atrpms-users several days ago, because, "hey, it works for me".
Apparently the only reason it was working for me is that I hadn't rebooted since before I installed the ivtv-firmware-1.8a-10.at package. After my first reboot following that upgrade, I get the following ivtv messages in dmesg and /var/log/messages: ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== ivtv: version 0.6.1 (development snapshot compiled on Wed Mar 29 17:11:32 2006) loading ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 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-250 card (cx23416 based) ivtv0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) ivtv0: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (262144 bytes) ivtv0 warning: 1000 ms time out waiting for firmware ivtv0 warning: Failed api call 0x000000c4 with result 0xfffffff0 ivtv0: error getting Encoder firmware version ivtv0: Error -16 getting firmware version! ivtv0: Error -16 on initialization ivtv: probe of 0000:01:0a.0 failed with error -16 ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ==================== Needless to say, I'm unable to record anything afterwards.
