Hello,
I'm having a lot of problems with getting ivtv firmware to load at
boot for my PVR-150 in my MythTV Backend server using Debian Lenny
kernel 2.6.22. I am using x86_64 verison of Debian with no module options.
mythbox-mbe:~# uname -r
2.6.22-2-amd64
This is a stock Debian kernel from the official Debian repositories . I
have made no changes to it.
Hardware:
SuperMicro PDSMA+
Xeon x3210 (2.13GHz Quad)
4GB ECC RAM (2 x Kingston KVR667D2E5K2/2G (240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667
(PC2 5300) ECC Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit Server Memory)
I installed the package "the debian way":
# m-a update,prepare
# m-a a-i ivtv-source
# dpkg -i /usr/src/ivtv-modules-*.deb
and then downloaded and untared the firmware in the
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware directory
Here is the ivtv error message from dmesg:
mythbox-mbe:~# dmesg | grep ivtv
ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================
ivtv: version 1.0.0 (2.6.22-2-amd64 SMP mod_unload ) loading

ivtv0: did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory?

ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ====================
Here are my firmware directories as defined in /lib/udev/hotplug.functions:
mythbox-mbe:~# cat /lib/udev/hotplug.functions | grep firmware
FIRMWARE_DIRS='/lib/firmware /usr/local/lib/firmware
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware'
The contents of /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware:
mythbox-mbe:~# ls -la /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
total 820
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-10-24 22:25 .

Placing the firmware files (actual files, not symlinks) in
/usr/local/lib/firmware produces the same result.
If I place the firmware in /lib/firmware (actual files, not symlinks) I
get kernel panics with my logs full of errors like this:

After boot with the firmware files in either /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
or /usr/local/lib/firmware I can remove the ivtv modules and reload them
manually with success:

I have enabled logging for hotplug and the load order of IVTV related

Can anyone offer ideas of what I can do or shove me in the right
direction? I've searched the mailing list archives (users and dev) and
I'm having a hard time finding anyone with the same issue on a version
1.0 driver.
Thank you for any insights.
Michael Hanson
