| Post subject: | ivtv latest drivers |
Hi ! It seems that there is no ivtv drivers (Hauppauge PVR TV tuner cards support) working since v0.4.2 on PPC. 0.4.2 works great but you need to use kernel 2.6.15. This kernel works great too, but I would like to be able to upgrade to newest kernel and I can't if I want to continue to use ivtv. Frostwork was saying on another thread that was coming from firmware which seems to be true looking into bugzilla for 0.8.0. What is the problem exactly ? What could be done to make the new version work ? Could we help in a way (testing or something else ?) Could nixnut or lu_zero answer on that ? |

because ! Some software may require a higher kernel version. |

Haven't tried yet, but latest entry in the ivtv-mailinglist contains a "howto" regarding loading the firmware manually: "..... It's also pretty simple to load the firmware from userspace even without hotplug. firmware.agent on a regular system will show you the steps you need to take to load the firmware from userspace. It basically boils down to the following which would fit nicely in an initscript: modprobe ivtv wait for /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ivtv/loading to appear. echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ivtv/loading cat $FIRMWARE > sys/bus/pci/drivers/ivtv/data echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ivtv/loading Ian. -- Ian Campbell" |

Hi Frostwork ! Before trying with the latest new ivtv drivers, I would like to know which newest 0.6.x version was OK for you and for which kernel version you made it work. thx a lot ;-) |

Hi Geoffrey! Are you sure you mena 0.6x? For latest kernel you need 0.8.x as you know... The new released 0.8.1 works good for me on a 2.6.18.2 kernel! If you're under gentoo you'll probably have to comment out the firmware-line in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-dev.rules else the boot might freeze. Already posted this in gentoos bugzilla some days ago... Good luck so far! |

We are just updating our MPEGLA licenses this weekend. Good idea. R&B :) |

The firmware bug is probably the same one that's bothering bcm43xx users: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147006 |

Yes, sounds "familiar" :)! But I think this one might have the same reason: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154744 |

Delete the hotplug old stuff and you'll live fine (at least for the broadcom worked quite well) |

I guess you mean old configs? I already did so several times & just once more - this doesn't fix the hardlock on boot. |

No, the /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent file ^^ |

Ok, but /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent is a part of hotplug & a clean setup of hotplug including the firmware.agent doesn't solve the problem. So where is the advantage in removing /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent instead of uncommenting firmware in/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules? |

well, I fixed my issue with the wifi removing hotplug, it shouldn't make any difference. |
