<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have setup my pvr350 yesterday, and managed to
get tv-out working, but results are inconsistent from reboot to reboot... Becase
of that, I suspect that I am facing a hardware problem with the board, but I'd
like to get people's thought about this.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>sorry for posting twice about the same problem, but
I really need to figure out whether this is a hardware problem or just a
configuration problem. If this is a hardware problem, I want to send it back for
waranty asap...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Here is the behaviour: After a reboot, it will sometime work and I get tv
out, and sometime does not work When it does not work, modprobe ivtv fails
with ivtv.o not being able to load.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>My modules.conf is included at the end of this email.<BR><BR>Note that I
have commented out lirc stuff as I have not bothered installing<BR>it with my
pvr350 yet (I have a homebrew one with according drivers).<BR><BR>Also note that
when booting, I am getting error with the lm_sensor thing.<BR>Not sure if this
is directly related, but when compiling ivtv driver, I have<BR>had to uncomment
that define to use new_i2c...<BR><BR>One last note: when linux starts up, there
is a message saying: starting<BR>bttv. I had a wintv pci card before, and I am
not sure if this is a leftover<BR>component, or if there is also a component
called bttv required for the<BR>pvr350... If not, I am not sure where it is
comming from because I removed<BR>all references to bttv from my
modules.conf...<BR><BR>I am using ivtv from latest tarball, and firmware
21288.<BR><BR>any help much
appreciated;<BR>Cheers,<BR>Olivier.<BR><BR>modules.conf:<BR>-----------------<BR>path[toplevel]=/lib/modules/`uname
