[mythtv-users] M179 and KnoppMyth R4V2

[Jeff]

I've been unable to get my M179 card (I also have a PVR-250)
to come up reliably using KnoppMyth R4V2. I am using the
IVTV driver from ATrpms with the ivtv-v4l2-types.patch and
the ivtv-release-0.1.9-m179.patch. My firmware is also from ATrpms
(dec version 2.02.23, enc version 2.04.211).

Others have said that they have this card working, more or
less reliably. My problem is that I need to reboot the box
10-15 times to get it to "come up". I haven't had any success
with "rmmod ivtv; modprobe ivtv" during boot (even before mythbackend
starts) as this gets a device inuse error.

I'm considering switching to the Fedora core as it seems like
those who have this card working are using that with ATrpms.

Is anyone using this successfully with KnoppMyth? I'm wondering if
there's something about what KnoppMyth does during boot that
is causing my woes. I have already disabled the code which KnoppMyth
includes to call test_ioctl during boot but perhaps it is doing something
else which I haven't found yet.
