assuming you mean the 800e (800i is the pci card I believe).  Here is my
howto.  It is key to have a clean v4l then install em28xx-new then
reboot with the stick NOT inserted

I'd be happy to help further if this doesn't work for you.
Good luck,
James

Subject: [Em28xx] Pinnacle 800i HD PRO on MYTHBUNTU 8.04



Has anyone had any luck ... installing the EM28xx driver on Mythbuntu ?

I have been through 3 versions of UBUNTU and I have exactly 1 HD
recording to
show for it. It worked once on Ubuntu 7.1 until a reboot ! The one time
it worked the
picture from AN ATSC OTA station was great ! Enough to convince me to
keep trying with this USB Tuner.

It worked under Windows XP so the hardware is fine !

Any HOWTOS for MYTHBUNTU 8.04

Thanks

Steve

Hmm, not to hijack, but I tried installing the debs and they don't work for me. Essentially the drivers install and load but don't do anything. It may be because I'm using kernel 2.6.24-7 instead of 2.6.24-16. For some reason kernel.org doesn't have the sources for 2.6.24-16 available.
The output of dmesg is simply

[  339.322672] em28xx v4l2 driver version 0.0.1 loaded
[  339.322699] usbcore: registered new interface driver em28xx

Nothing beyond that about finding my devices or anything.

lsmod gives:

em28xx                 48680  0
compat_ioctl32          2304  1 em28xx
ir_common              36356  1 em28xx
videodev               29056  1 em28xx
v4l2_common            18560  2 em28xx,videodev
v4l1_compat            15364  2 em28xx,videodev
tveeprom               16784  1 em28xx
i2c_core 25088 5 em28xx,tveeprom,i2c_ali1535,i2c_ali15x3,i2c_ali1563
usbcore               146412  5 em28xx,usbhid,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd

And trying to modprobe em28xx-dvb returns fatal, module not found.

So instead, I compiled the em28xx-new driver from source. They compiled fine with no errors, but then simply wouldn't load:

insmod: error inserting 'em28xx.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module

Not sure what to try next. I'm going to try different kernels and see if I can compile one these will work with.

Cheers,
Raphy
