Ok, question:
When you say, "It's a debian based system", based upon which debian
release?
My etch system is using
$ apt-show-versions | grep udev
udev/etch uptodate 0.105-4
when I look for firmware.agent:
$ locate firmware.agent
/lib/udev/firmware.agent
looking inside firmware.agent, it wants to load
. ./hotplug.functions, which contains
FIRMWARE_DIRS='/lib/firmware /usr/local/lib/firmware /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware'
Which means, they both converge on /usr/local/lib/firmware and /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware,
so you should be good there.
My suggestion would be to make a copy of firmware.agent, and then start
modifying
the original, by adding some echo statements. Here's a patch of a modified
firmware.agent
I created to help me find a firmware problem:
$ diff -u firmware.agent.orig firmware.agent.debug
--- firmware.agent.orig 2006-04-21 15:10:10.000000000 -0600

Oh yeah, btw. Make extra, doubly, triple sure that you are using an 'l' - ell,
instead of a '1' - one in those file names. That'll bite you in the posterior
too many times to count.

instead of udev, but still the same problem :-/

Hi Tobias,
I have had the same problem with my pvr250 and I solved it by uninstall
my old udev version 056 and install an new version udev 114 or 104.

Hi,
i have some problems loading the Firmware for my Hauppauge PVR 150.
I always get this error:
//
ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================

I have downloaded the latest firmware (firmware-20070217.tar.gz) and copied
all the v4l-* the Files to
- /lib/firmware/2.6.18-chw-13/
- /lib/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw
- /lib/modules/
- /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
- /usr/local/lib/firmware/
The size of the "v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw" is right with 376836 bytes.
My "/etc/hotplug/firmware.agent" says:
//
FIRMWARE_DIRS="/lib/firmware /usr/local/lib/firmware /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware"
//
I tried switching back to version 0.9.1 and the old firmware
- with the same result.
I already found some posts about the error "unable to open firmware",
but none of the solutions mentioned there helped.
Some said it might be a to old udev version, but I"ve got latest version (105)
installed.
My Kernel is 2.6.18-chw-13 and its a Debian based System.
So, I've no idea what is wrong, perhaps some one has a solution or
a guess what could be wrong.
Thx,
Tobias
