I don't know what this problem is, but the change in behaviour along with the fact that a manual unload/reload works, suggests that you have /usr on a different partition than /, and it's not mounted yet during the boot process when it first tries to initialize the card. So putting the firmware in /lib/firmware is probably the right thing to do. - Marc _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
