i'm reverting back to the old kernel right now. i upgraded to the new kernel and ivtv (0.8.0) drivers and ivtv gave me this in dmesg

i just thought somebody would want to know this

I'm running into the same problem that you are. When I give the dmesg, I get the following response:

ivtv:  ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================
ivtv:  version 0.8.0 (tagged release) loading
ivtv:  Linux version: 2.6.18-ARCH SMP preempt mod_unload 686 REGPARM gcc-4.1
ivtv:  In case of problems please include the debug info between
ivtv:  the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines, along with
ivtv:  any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist.
ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge WinTV PVR-350 card (cx23415 based)
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 0000:02:01.0 failed with error -12
ivtv:  ====================  END INIT IVTV  ====================

I even tried to downgrade everything that was upgraded, and I'm getting a similar error message with earlier versions of the ivtv driver.

When I do an slocate to make sure that I have the firmware, I get this:

[root@****** ~]# slocate *.fw
/lib/firmware/v4l-cx25840.fw
/lib/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw
/lib/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw
/lib/firmware/v4l-pvrusb2-24xxx-01.fw
/lib/firmware/v4l-pvrusb2-29xxx-01.fw
[root@****** ~]#        

Has anyone come up with a work-around?

phreique · 2006-10-08 08:37:30

Ok, I think that I figured it out. After much reading and pulling my hair out, I discovered that the ivtv driver was trying to load before the firmware. I took a look at my rules in UDEV and found that I needed to add another rule specific to loading firmware.

The first thing that I did was create a rule under /etc/udev/rules.d called 999-firmware.rules

Inside of /etc/udev/rules.d/999-firmware.rules I put in the following code:

SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/lib/udev/firmware.sh"

After a nice system reboot, everything worked as it should.

Hopefully this will relieve some frustration for all of you out there!

there was a udev update in there somewhere. i've never needed to edit udev.rules so i just overwrite it with udev.rules.pacnew haven't had a problem. ran into this initially with 2.6.16 to 2.6.17 upgrade

phreique · 2006-10-08 23:19:39

Yeah, I guessed that would have worked too! I guess I always have to find an engineer's solution to the problem. Kind of like swatting a fly with a sledgehammer. heheheh

Well - i got the exact same problem now with hauppauge PVR-500 and kernel 2.6.21

Ran a full system update yesterday and well MythTV ain't working anymore caurse of this .
I'm getting the same error as you describing here - so would like to hear your solutions for the problem - and wondering why I cannot get it to work - Well can't even find my udev.rules.pacnew anywhere ??? Which scares me a little bit - should it not be there - no matter what ???

It should only be there if you edited udev.rules, and then udev.rules was upgraded. In this case, it's extracted as udev.rules.pacnew , and you've to merge the new changes manually.
If you didn't edit it, you already have the new one.
