After I rebooted my kubuntu box, I no longer had a /dev/video0. dmesg (below) indicates the firmware was loaded, but "decoder f/w is dead."
tried modprobe v4l* and get FATAL: Module v4l_cx2341x_dec.fw not found. The three v4l firmware files are found in many places on this machine, including /lib/modules/, /lib/firmware/, /lib/modules/2.6.15-27-386/kernel/drivers/media/video/v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw /usr/src/ivtv/driver/, and /root/. I copied the three files to /lib/modules/2.6.15-28-386/kernel/drivers/media/video/v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw since I have upgraded to the 2.6.15-28 kernel. modprobe v4l* still gets the same answer. FATAL: Module v4l_cx2341x_dec.fw not found. I guess modprobe can't tell the difference between a dash and an underbar, since the message always has underbar while the actual files have dashes. What am I missing or doing wrong? bruce ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== [17179591.772000] ivtv: version 0.4.10 (tagged release) loading [17179591.772000] ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.15-28-386 preempt 486 gcc-4.0 [17179591.772000] ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info between [17179591.772000] ivtv: the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines, along with [17179591.772000] ivtv: any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist.
