Harley: So you just installed a "stock" Kubuntu and got this result? Nothing else installed? The reason I ask is because generally when you get an error like this it means that the module was compiled against the wrong kernel source tree (relative to the kernel you are running) - which would seem unlikely coming from your distro! It's also possible that a bad option was passed to the module, and there was one option that changed in the driver about 6 months ago. But before going any further, here's now to diagnose the error: Trigger the problem again. Then look at your kernel log. The quickest way to do this is with dmesg, e.g. "dmesg >/tmp/foo.out" then examine /tmp/foo.out for lines with "pvrusb2" in them. You'll likely find some error messages regarding an attempt to load the driver right at the very end of the output. In there you will find more detail about the error, for example there might be a complaint about an unknown symbol that the module requires which isn't in the kernel. Check that and tell me what you find... -Mike -- Mike Isely isely @ isely (dot) net PGP: 03 54 43 4D 75 E5 CC 92 71 16 01 E2 B5 F5 C1 E8 _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
