[mythtv-users] [ivtv-users] Insertion erros when installing cx18

[daryl]

I don't want to tell you how I solved my problem (but I will) because I wasted so much of my time and your time that I fully expect to be called names
 for being so dumb (just kidding).

The solution was something I learned years ago when I had dial-up modem troubles. Just remove the card and reinstall the system and THEN put the card back in.
Well, thats the sure fire method. I don't know the details yet but heres what I did...

I shut down, removed the tuner card, wiped my drive, reinstalled Ubuntu to previous state, reinserted tuner card into motherboard and then loaded v4l 
driver and firmware.

I don't fully understand this because of this...

I then reinstall my OS on my other hard drive. I then loaded the v4l drivers and firmware and figured that if my dmesg cx18 output was bad I would try 
removing and reinstalling the card. This would tell me if reinstalling the OS was nessessary or if it was only nessessary to remove 
the card, restart the system, shut down and reinstall the card. HOWEVER, this time it was not nessessary to remove the card. I simply reinstalled the OS 
and dmesg cx18 was good.

Anyway, the jist of it is that for error 12 and mmio_ndelay issues I recommend the above actions.

I have now run the "mplayer -cache 16384 /dev/video0" command and I do have video and sound.

I am now going to attempt to get Myth going. Probably see you in another thread real soon.

Thanks for all.
