[mythtv-users] select timeout - ivtv driver has stopped responding

[John Westlund]

I see other people having similar problems but I'm still banging my
head against this issue.

Recently updated to the 0.6.2 driver and now when I try and record I
get something similar to:

frontend:

select timeout - ivtv driver has stopped responding

Occasionally it will continue to record but "select timeout - ivtv
driver has stopped responding" messages continues once every couple of
seconds.

I've tried updating to the 0.7 drivers and then I get nothing out of
the device, and Myth gives me:
TV: Attempting to change from None to WatchingLiveTV
2006-06-03 22:24:26.702 Using protocol version 26

retries remaining.
and eventually gives up.

I've attempted to build the 0.6.1 driver against my
kernel-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 kernel but I get the following in dmesg when
I try and load the modules:
ivtv: disagrees about version of symbol video_unregister_device
ivtv: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
ivtv: disagrees about version of symbol video_device_alloc
ivtv: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc
ivtv: disagrees about version of symbol video_register_device
ivtv: Unknown symbol video_register_device
ivtv: disagrees about version of symbol video_device_release
ivtv: Unknown symbol video_device_release

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
