[mythtv-users] Re: State of IvyTV Fedora Core 2 Support?

[Joe .]

having received my pvr 250 yesterday and spent all evening trying to get 
ivtv working, i'm giving up and going to fedora core 1 :(

after getting the 2.6.7 vanilla kernel, i tried to the cvs and stable 
releases of ivtv with no joy (started off with loads of errors, sorted some 
things out, but eventually hit a brick wall which i didn't know how to get 
past). then i tried the atrpms packages (which automatically switched my 
kernel too), and got reasonably far, but the ivtv module WOULD NOT load 
('dmesg | grep ivtv' showed an error saying that tveeprom could not be 
loaded or something), so no /dev/video0.

i spent some time in #mythtv-users getting help from Beirdo (thanks very 
much btw, very kind of you), but after a string of problems (and not being 
able to find a way to fix them), i downloaded the fc1 isos. at least this 
means i can just follow jarod's guide to the letter, i'll leave fc2 to those 
with a bit more experience for now :)

cheers,
joe.
