[mythtv-users] Failure loading firmware on reboot - Please help

[Praveen Shenoy]

Followed Jarod's guide and everything went well untill I rebooted the  
system after the completing all the steps and the setup. Had audio/ 
video on TV and X working thru the PVR-350's out. Once I rebooted the  
system, I saw a bunch of messages on screen before the routine  
startup messages showup which indicated failure to load the firmware  
etc. Here is the log section. Also, how do I capture the initial  
messages that show up on the screen that are not in /var/log/ 
messages. The few lines that I saw on the screen that also showed up / 
var/log/messages were:

Mar 22 11:58:32 localhost kernel: ivtv0 warning: Error loading  
firmware -3!
Mar 22 11:58:32 localhost kernel: ivtv0: Error -3 initializing firmware.
Mar 22 11:58:32 localhost kernel: ivtv0: Error -12 on initialization


Here is the entire block :
