I have a critical issue with mythtv. I am not sure if
I need to post the issue on ivtv or on mythtv list. I
cannot capture because I am not able to get ivtv to
load. Not sure if this is a Jarod's guide issue, ivtv
issue, or user issue. I have gotten everything up and
running except I cannot capture anything b/c I cannot
get ivtv to load. I have done everything I could
think of and find on the mail lists. I am so close,
yet all I have is a hunk of metal until I get this
issue resolved.


I see I have .741 ivtv kernel installed.  Is it
supposed to match .681_FC3 kernel I am running?  If
so, how do I make the change?



You have the wrong modules. Your modules are for kernel .741 and you have kernel .681 installed. Try installing the right kernel. With this setup they will not load.

Please help.  I have everything else working (sound,
mythfilldatabase, etc) since I just continued my
install process figuring I can go back to loading ivtv
once e-mail help arrives.

thanks,
George

Modprobe.conf lines are there:
# nvidia kernel module
alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-6629
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv

FC3 uses udev for devices. So the /dev/videox is only created when a driver needs one. You also need a good udev config file. I believe the default FC3 install supports /dev/videox devices. But as reported earlier your modules do not load so the /dev/video0 device is never created.
