[Solved] ivtv .70 kernel 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 - Problem

[darkpenguin]

This week I decided to do some updates to my myth box. I upgraded from a 2.6.16 kernel to the latest 2.6.17 kernel, gcc 3.4 to gcc 4.1.1, and also upgraded to the .70 ivtv driver. For the life of me, I can not get my hauppauge 350 card to work now. I have been researching this for two days now, and I feel I am no closer to solving it than when I started. I've seen some posts that elude to a problem with the ivtv driver and gcc 4.1.1, but have not found a solution nor a definate problem. When trying to load the driver, dmesg feeds me this:

Since I've been using the ivtv driver, I have compiled it from source. On this one I have even emerged the driver. There was no change.

Any help on this one would be appreciated.

The same card, the same problem. Any suggestions?

[duraste]

same problem with hauppauge pvr-150

[darkpenguin]

Did you guys upgrade to gcc 4.1.1 as well?

I should have included platform info in my original post as well, but did not. I am using an AMD64 system.

[drescherjm]

I have ivtv-0.7.0 running (without any problems) under amd64 and gentoo-sources-2.6.17 but I am using gcc-3.4.6-r2.

After I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.17-R8 - I had the same problem - saa7115 was not found (becasue it wasn't getting build (you seem to be missing other modules too)).

Check if you have these selection in your new kernel (some might not be required and might vary depending on your capture card. These options seem to be work well with my PVR-250)

Device Drivers --> Multimedia Devices

<*> Video For Linux
<*> Enable Video For Linux API 1 compatible Layer

Under Video Capture Adapters:

<M> BT848 Video For Linux

and Under Encoders and Decoders:

<M> Conexant CX2584x audio/video decoders
<M> Philips SAA7113/4/5 video decoders
<M> Philips SAA7127/9 digital video encoders

I hope this help...

P.S. I'm running AMD64 system with gcc 3.4.5 and ivtv 0.70

I agree, I am missing some modules. They are just not being built.

I compared my kernel config with the one you posted, and there was only one difference:

I had selected "Enable Video For Linux API 1 (DEPRECATED)". I changed it, and rebooted with the new kernel. After unmerging the ivtv driver, I had to redo the firmware then I re-compiled the driver from source.

Unofrtunately, there was no change.

I installed the 2.6.18-gentoo kernel last night, hoping that by some miracle it would work. It did not. I was reading a post by the developer of ivtv, dated 09-04-06, saying that he was planning a .8 release after the 2.6.18 release in a week or two.

Hopefully the new .8 release will solve the problems. I am still leaning towards gcc 4.1 being the cause of the problem.

[darkpenguin]

I have just brought my system up from a rebuild. As it happens, the 0.7.1 ivtv driver was released today. While there a couple of possibilities as to why I could not get it to work before, it does now.

ivtv 0.7.1
kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r8
gcc-4.1.1

Now to bring myth back.

I had the same problem as noted here. I reemerged lirc and we'll see how it works after my wife relinquishes the tv. There are a lot more modules listed under lsmod now than there were before. things like

The problem was that after emerge -eav system/world, then rebuild kernel, then reboot, lirc still had the old kernels modules and needed to be re-emerged to build off the current kernel.

So Whenever you build a new kernel (version bump), re-emerge ivtv and lirc
