Post subject:  No ivtv lines in dmesg anymore..

Version: R5E50
Video cards: PVR-150 x 2

Working for months now. I screwed something up, and now neither of my video cards get recognized. I don't think it's even running modprobe ivtv when it boots (actually, I don't now if it's supposed to).

When I reboot the box it acts like there are no video cards. If I run modprobe ivtv and restart the back end everything is fine.

There are no ivtv messages in /var/log/dmesg

Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do? I think I need to have modprobe run automatically, but I'm not even sure where I should do that or if it's the right thing to fix this.

Thanks everyone.

So what did you change and what were you trying to do before it broke?

If you can narrow it down me might be able to provide a short cut to fixing it.

Otherwise the advise may very well be, "Make a good back up, and auto upgrade to the same version, following the directions in the R5E50 hints posting."

I filled the / file system and locked the machine up. I had to pull the power twice on the box before I realized what was wrong and deleted the offending directory that I filled up. The directory and files had nothing to do with mythtv operations. Something in the hard reboots must have done it.

The primary problem is that modprobe ivtv is not being run at boot and I can't find where this is supposed to happen to fix it.

I suspect that you did more damage than you realize. What do these directories show on you machine?

Almost identical to yours. Minus the lirc on the PVR card. I'll look at them a little better once I get them pasted into this post.
