Mythuser:

Thanks again for your help. Interesting, I checked the firmware.agent
file and also have:

Code:

FIRMWARE_DIRS="/lib/firmware /usr/local/lib/firmware /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware"


but only the /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware directory exists.

So, is this my problem? Is it possible some directories weren't created on install or ?? Any help appreciated.

Hmmm, mine were there on install. Are you using R5A16? Regardless you can just make the directory and copy the firmware files there. It wont hurt anything.

mkdir -p /lib/firmware

Try that out and see if hotplug loads the firmware correctly. Hope that helps!

The firmware for ivtv belong in /lib/modules/.

Thanks-both of you.

But the firmware is still not loading. I am really clueless as to what to do at this point.

Help!

Post your demsg output from ivtv. Did you make sure the firmware you extracted from pvr48wdm*.exe was correct for your hardware by checking the md5sums etc? Here is a link you can doublecheck:

I also originally tried the firmware that came off my Hauppauge CD, but had exactly the same problem.

As for the MD5sums, yes, I've checked, and they are accurate.

is i2c_core loaded? look for it in lsmod. I would be concerned about this error:

i2c_adapter i2c-0: sendbytes: error - bailout

Yes, according to lsmod,

i2c_core
i2c_algo_bit

are both loaded.

Apparently in the more recent ivtv 0.3.??? driver series someone made a change to use the hotplug mechanism and search path for this. For folks who need to use 0.3.??? to get a newer PVR-150,250,500 working this may need to be taken into account... It might be as simple as adding /lib/modules to the hotplug search list.

Huh? Can you please clarify what the repercussions are for this newbie?

How do I manage to get the firmware loaded? I know it can be done, since
there are others with R5A12 using a PVR-150.

Please clarify.

Thanks

It means I've added /lib/modules to firmware.agent.

I have no idea. I added this to the next release per tjc comment. Since the next release will contain ivtv 0.3.8 (if it passes the mustard). In test so far, I had no issues with the firmware loading.
