I compiled my own ivtv drivers bc the ones on the repo are only for the 2.6.18 vanilla kernel.
However, no matter what I've done so far ivtv can't load/find the firmware even though I got them from the ivtv website howto
after modprobe ivtv, dmesg gives:
ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================
ivtv: version 0.7.1 (tagged release) loading

ivtv: any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist.

ivtv0: unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw
ivtv0: did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory?
ivtv0 warning: failed loading encoder firmware
ivtv0 warning: Error loading firmware -3!
ivtv0: Error -3 initializing firmware.
ivtv0: Error -12 on initialization
ivtv: probe of 0000:01:08.0 failed with error -12
ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ====================also I have the firmware files:
v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg
v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw
v4l-cx25840.fw
v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw in the /lib/firmware with symlinks from:
/lib/hotplug/firmware
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
/lib/modules
/usr/lib/hotplug
which are all the firmware directories listed for all versions of ivtv.
I don't know where else to put them bc the documentation says that if not loaded automatically by udev/hotplug-firmware it will load from /lib/modules :shock:
BTW I'm running kernel26beyond-2.6.17.beyond4-1, udev-101-1, ivtv 0.7.1 (from source), and the card works in winblows
so far I've searched the gentoo forums, ivtv mailing lists archives, and these forums but can't find anything similar.
I'm thinking maybe someone here had this before bc arch linux is a little different when it comes to module handling and loading
===================================edit
found the solution, newer versions of udev for arch have changes in the udev.rules file in /etc/udev/rules
namely the firmware section
I just renamed udev.rules.pacnew to udev.rules and everything worked!!!!
