Hi! I'm trying to get my Hauppauge PVR 150 Card working after a new Gentoo installation (before this it worked quite well)...
After installing Gentoo I emerged ivtv following this howto: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto:Gentoo Unfortunately my system froze while trying to modprobe ivtv for the first time. I did some research and found out, that this has to be a problem with newer versions of udev and hotplug (25 & 26 in the troubleshooting guide). i am using the following versions: udev-104-r9 (104-r11 did the same) hotplug-20040923-r2 hotplug-base-20040401 ivtv-0.9.1 (0.10.0 did the same) pvr-firmware-20061007 (20070217 did the same) lspci gave me this: 01:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01) so, first I commented out this line in my 50-udev.rules: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", ENV{FIRMWARE}=="*", RUN="/sbin/firmware_helper", OPTIONS="last_rule" modprobe ivtv caused the same freeze as before. after this, i reactivated the 50-udev.rule line from above and moved the firmware.agent file out of my /etc/hotplug directory. as a result my system did not freeze anymore but the pvr-firmware was not being loaded correctly. this is what dmesg said: ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== ivtv: version 0.9.1 (tagged release) loading ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 SMP mod_unload K8 REGPARM 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 card (cx23416 based) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKC] enabled at IRQ 19 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:0a.0[A] -> Link [LNKC] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 ivtv0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) ivtv0: unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw (must be 262144 bytes) 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. Trying to free already-free IRQ 19 ivtv0: Error -12 on initialization ivtv: probe of 0000:01:0a.0 failed with error -12 ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ==================== my firmware is in the /lib/firmware and has the demanded size... i have even tried to put it in all the following directories too: /lib/hotplug/firmware /usr/local/lib/firmware /etc/hotplug.d/firmware /etc/hotplug/firmware /usr/lib/firmware /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware now i am rather desperate, but i know my card works, because it did before on gentoo and does now on win. does anyone have a clue? thanks in advance! _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
