Hi Johan. I had the same problem you had. I couldn't find an answer online, but after a few hours, I did eventually figure it out. If you'll note, you have the error "cx25840: firmware read failed". cx25840 is the audio chip for the PVR-150, and if you check /var/log/messages, or equivalent on your system, you may see a more detailed error of the form: "cx25840: Unable to open FW file '/lib/modules/HcwMakoA.ROM'." This file can be obtained from the cdrom or downloaded from the net, and placing it in that location fixes the problem immediately upon a reboot. To save myself the trouble of unearthing my CD, I used "alien -t" to convert this rpm containing the necessary file into a tgz: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/2081306/com/ivtv-firmware-audio-0.0.1-1.at.i386.rpm.html I hope that helps. It worked for me. I did not have this problem with 0.2.*, so I can only assume something has changed with the 0.3.* series which brought this problem to the surface. But as the 0.3.* series seems to work much better for me, fixing the problem was worth it. (Remember to reboot, those drivers seem too finicky to rmmod.) ______________________________________________________ Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. http://store.yahoo.com/redcross-donate3/ ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Ivtv-users mailing list Ivtv-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ivtv-users
