hmm... but it's loading that same firmware for the first tuner...

ok... here's the dmesg with that modprobe option set:


[145922.152823] ivtv: Start initialization, version 1.4.1

so it ignores the 2nd tuner... but the avcore firmware is loaded for tuner 1 
with no problem.

I'd rather rebuild a kernel than run a windows machine. :-) Just tell me what
I need to enable in the kernel...
