I've been trying to get a PVR-500MCE working on my dual Xeon

fine but I need/want the dual tuners. This is all on a FC3 system
running 2.6.12 SMP.
I have built the most recent ivtv (0.3.6z), pulled the drivers from
the
CD (and tried downloading) and put them in /lib/modules. If I'm not
careful how I load modules the entire machine hangs but I'm not to the
point where I do the following:
modprobe tveeprom
modprobe videodev
modprobe ivtv
and it usually completes but it takes a while
Strange that you can't just modprobe ivtv. Are the kernel versions
of any of the modules still around and getting loaded?
tveeprom: The eeprom says no radio is present, but the tuner type
tveeprom: indicates otherwise. I will assume that radio is present.
tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 23552, rev = D592, serial# = 2995308
D592... Not one I'm familiar with, mine's a D492. I didn't see any
mention of the tda9887 in your dmesg output though, and I think
you'll need it.

That's weird. Are the firmware in your /lib/modules from the CD that
came with your card, or are they downloaded from somewhere? You
might try the ones from your CD.
modprobe.conf contents are:
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
No options here? Might try this :
options ivtv tda9887=0,0 ivtv_debug=1,1
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
options w83781d ignore=-1,0x290
I have no idea what this is. Hope you do.
I'd try the tda9887 option first, then start looking for and renaming
older kernel modules, then try different firmwares.
