All,<br>I'm setting up a mythtv frontend on an old HP. Im following Jarod's guide over at wilsonet dot com. Need to warn you that I am 100% new to linux and have considerable trouble when I run into problems not addressed in the guide, however I do a lot of reading before asking. I've reached the point where installation of ivtv is required, and did the following:
<br># yum -y install ivtv-firmware<br>
# yum -y install ivtv-kmdl-$KVER<br><br>Then added the following to the end of the /etc/modprobe.conf file:<br>
# ivtv modules setup<br>
alias char-major-81 videodev<br>
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv<br><br>I have a PVR-250 and want to use NTSC, so I didn't add any further lines to modprobe.conf. I was under the impression that at this point the ivtv driver was installed, and as per Jarod's next step I loaded the driver with:
<br># /sbin/depmod -a<br>
# /sbin/modprobe ivtv<br><br>After the second line was entered I recieved this error mesage:<br>FATAL: Module ivtv not found.<br><br>After "# rpm -qa | grep ivtv" it returned "<a href="http://ivtv-firmware-1.8a-10.at">
ivtv-firmware-1.8a-10.at</a>" so i assume it is installed... I even tried Jarod's solution to a different ivtv problem "echo 16384 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes" which not surprisingly didn't do a thing for me.
<br><br>I've checked the archives, and from what I have found no one has really answered this question, at least not enough for me to understand what needs to be done. Help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need more information about my setup. Thanks in advance-
<br><br>Aaron<br><br><br>
