OK guys, Thank again for all your advice. Sorry I'm so helpless at this....I'm learning a little bit more with every round ;-)
Anyways, I've tried: > Workaround 1: > o rename tuner.*o from the /kernel/ subdir I tried just renaming the file to tuner.old.ko, but modprobe -nv tuner still seemed to find that, so I actually moved it to a totally different place...both the versions in .....kernel/ and ....update/ right away from there.... Then I tried: > Workaround 2: > o Get > http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/modu > le-init-tools-3.1-0.pre5.4.src.rpm > and rebuild it on your platform. --> At first I wasn't sure how to do this really, but then I found a couple HOWTOs, and did it like this: # rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/mo dule-init-tools-3.1-0.pre5.4.src.rpm # cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS # rpmbuild -ba module-init-tools.spec # cd ../RPMS/ # rpm -Uvh module-init-tools-3.1-0.pre5.4.i386.rpm # rpm -Uvh module-init-tools-debuginfo-3.1-0.pre5.4.i386.rpm --> That all seemed to work well, so I did a test or two: # apt-cache policy modutils <OUTPUT> modutils: Installed: (none) Candidate: 2.4.26-16 Version Table: 2.4.26-16 0 996 http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/2/i386/core pkglist </OUTPUT> # apt-cache policy module-init-tools <OUTPUT> module-init-tools: Installed: 3.1-0.pre5.4 Candidate: 3.1-0.pre5.4 Version Table: *** 3.1-0.pre5.4 0 100 RPM Database </OUTPUT> --> It seems like I got module-init-tools alright, but I now don't have modutils installed? Strange....so I tried: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# apt-get install modutils <OUTPUT> Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: module-init-tools The following NEW packages will be installed: modutils WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing! module-init-tools (due to kernel#2.6.5-1.358) 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 removed and 1 not upgraded. Need to get 405kB of archives. After unpacking 109kB of additional disk space will be used. You are about to do something potentially harmful To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!' </OUTPUT> --> I cancelled out of this, wasn't sure if it would screw things up, or potentially revert back to an older modutils version again. Looking now at modprobe I get: # modprobe -nv ivtv <OUTPUT> insmod /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.6_FC2/updates/drivers/media/video/ivtv.ko </OUTPUT> # modprobe -nv tuner <OUTPUT> FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.6_FC2/kernel/drivers/media/video/tuner.bad.ko': No such file or directory </OUTPUT> This doesn't look very good ;-) What should it do? After restarting I still get "tuner not set" lines in my /var/log/messages and I still am not able to get output from the tuner. Thanks again.... ;-) Cameron > On Sat, Dec 04, 2004 at 01:22:00AM -0800, Jarod C.
