Post subject:  getting pvr-350 to work after fresh install withR5 10a

I had a working system earlier with R4v5 but after upgrading i can't get my pvr350 to be reconized using myth-setup. I am getting an error

Failed to open /dev/video0
repeated 4 times

I don't know what this could be I did not change any hardware so i'm not sure what caused this. I used tuner 39 before and set it again but again no luck. What am i missing?

Did you modprobe ivtv?

i did that again and now the tuner is working but i am getting some strange messages when trying to enable the prv-350's tv out.
I'm following http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=TvOutHowto
and at one point it says to

Now just a quick test. Hook up your TV set to the composite out RCA jack of your PVR-350 and do this:

* rmmod saa7127
* insmod saa7127 enable_output=1 output_select=0 test_image=1

upon trying the second insmod line i get an error

insmod saa7127 enable_output=1 output_select=0 test_image=1
insmod: can't read 'saa7127': No such file or directory

Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Also i can't run modprobe ivtv-fb without getting an error saying that there was a segmentation fault. My framebuffer goes unknown as it seemingly can't be opend (error when x tries to start and fails)

The brute force way to solve this problem would be to locate module that you are trying to install and specify the full path to it.

find / -name "saa7127*"

Might come up with something like:

/lib/modules/2.6.9/somdir/saa7127.ko

Then run

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.9/somdir/saa7127.ko enable_output=1 output_select=0 test_image=1
