[mythtv-users] Cant load ivtv

[John Barton]

I tried again with the other kernel source(2.4.22-21)
and I am getting the same result.  Here is what I did:
cd ivtv/driver
make clean
cd ../utils
make clean
cd ../driver
make
cd ../utils
make
cp test_ioctl /usr/local/bin
cd ../driver
make install
cd ../utils
make install
(I had already edited /etc/modules.conf from previous
attempts, so I left it alone, although I did double-check
that everything was right)
depmod -a
modprobe ivtv

modprobe: Can't locate module ivtv

I did have to change the KERNELDIR in the makefile, because
the source was not in fact in /lib wherever, but in
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-21mdk/ .  I changed this in both
makefiles(driver and utils).  I hope I was less vague about
it this time.

Thanks in advance.

I assume the"it" is ivtv.o . When it "wouldn't load", it (or maybe 
modprobe) reported some actual error. For this kind of troubleshooting,
you 
need to report that error to us.

This may be enough of a mismatch to cause a problem. Or your kernel may 
have been compiled meaving out something that ivtv.o needs.

I *think* 2.4.22 is new enough that is had the list-handling functions 
built in (ivtv failed to compile against my 2.4.19 source because some
of 
these functions were not present, but I moved up to 2.4.24). And ivtv
seems 
to expect kernel debugging to be compiled in (though a 1-line change to
the 
ivtv source fixed that for me).

So details still count here ... especially if you load new kernel source

(as you say below that you plan to try) and still have problems.
