[mythtv-users] /sbin/modprobe ivtv -- not working

As I said, I am getting the same problem, but it is flacky: After a reboot,
it will sometime work and I get tv out, and sometime does not work and I get
the same behaviour as described in previous emails...

My modules.conf is included at the end of this email.

Note that I have commented out lirc stuff as I have not bothered installing
it with my pvr350 yet (I have a homebrew one with according drivers).

Also note that when booting, I am getting error with the lm_sensor thing.
Not sure if this is directly related, but when compiling ivtv driver, I have
had to uncomment that define to use new_i2c...

One last note: when linux starts up, there is a message saying: starting
bttv. I had a wintv pci card before, and I am not sure if this is a leftover
component, or if there is also a component called bttv required for the
pvr350... If not, I am not sure where it is comming from because I removed
all references to bttv from my modules.conf...

I am using ivtv from latest tarball, and firmware 21288.

any help much appreciated;
Cheers,
Olivier.

## REMOVE ? This is from previous config. What is bizzare is that

## For ivtv
## path[toplevel]=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/drivers/media/video
