Hi All. My machine runs Mythbuntu 8.04 + all updtes (Kernel 2.6.24-17-generic) + Linux video capture interface v2.00 + ivtv version 1.3.0.
When booting the system sees the DVICO cards correctly, but on executing "sudo modprobe ivtv", syslog just shows the following: kernel: [28116.036539] inux video capture interface: v2.00 kernel: [28116.060478] ivtv: Start initialization, version1.3.0 kernel: [28166.060731] ivtv: End initialization and as you can see modprobe does not load the ivtv device firmware as it used too, or should. I have multiple DVICO Dual Digital 4 or my other unit the DVICO NANO. (idVendor 0x0fe9, idProduct 0xdb78, bcdDevice eb.bo.), using just one or more devices doesn't change this "not loading firmware" problem. I have placed the correct firmware in all the following places in an effort to get it to load without success. /lib64/firmware/ /lib64/firmware/2.6.24-17-generic/ /lib/firmware/ /lib/firmware/2.6.24-17-generic/ Prior to 2.6.24 everything loaded and run successfully by simply issuing a modprobe ivtv. I have tried looking thru the /etc/udev rules, the linux Documentation/ dvb (old now) etc. without seeing HOW or WHAT causes modprobe to load the firmware correctly. In reading the last two days all the doco I can find applicable to the subject it is supposed to be controlled/ activated by a udev rules, but I have no such rule in /etc/udev/ rules.d/ nor it is mentioned in the /etc/udev/udev.conf files, other than to say it is in ./rules.d/80-programs.rules: Load firmware on demand. So where exactly is firmware suppose to reside? What is the exact mechanism for loading firmware into a ivtv device (step by step please so I can discover why my system is not woring correctly)? Why doesn't "modprobe ivtv" load the DCIVO firmware? Another control/functionality of other loaders I need to be aware of? Can someone kindly please offer a solution to my problems of getting the ivtv firmware loading correctly? Much thanks.
