I recently bought a PVR-500 to replace my existing low-quality saa7139
card. I've finally gotten through the various instructions and have
gotten nice high-quality video out of /dev/video0.... but only for
about 5 seconds, after which my machine reboots!!! There was a
previous thread on the list where someone complained of having
problems with KT133 motherboards, and since my mobo (Soyo KT400) uses
the KT400 chipset, I thought there might be a problem.
Also, with the .3x release of ivtv, it seems that the no_black_magic
flag is no longer an option, as I get the following in dmesg when I
try to install the card:
cx25840: Unknown parameter `no_black_magic'
In any case: perfect video for a few seconds, then POOF reboot.
Module options are *extremely* dependent on the version of ivtv you're
using--and I don't mean 0.1 versus 0.2 versus 0.3. I mean 0.3.7 versus
0.3.8 (and, in some cases, all the way down to the letter after the last
number)... In general, though, with 0.3.8+ you probably don't need any
module options for ivtv--just the char-major-81 aliases (or would that
be alii?).
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
