Thanks for the suggestion, I'll see on the next reboot if it helps. You said you *had* this problem for a while... What was your solution?
I have noticed that when the system *does* boot, it produces the errors listed below (firmware not found). If I then do an rmmod ivtv_fb; rmmod ivtv followed by a modprobe ivtv, everything starts. To me this indicates some kind of timing problem when udev tries to load ivtv. Perhaps it is still too early in the boot process for ivtv to start reliably. regards, stanley. > I had this problem for a while. > > add: > blacklist ivtv > to: > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist > > and diagnose your ivtv problems manually > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Stanley Merkx" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "User discussion about IVTV" <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, August 07, 2006 3:00 PM > Subject: Re: [ivtv-users] IVTV driver causes udev not to start > > >> >> Hi, >> >> I think I see something similar, although in my case it does not hang >> every time, only 1 in 3 or so... this only occurs when booting an SMP >> kernel... >> >> I am also getting weird messages (in SMP mode): first saying the >> firmware >> file could not be found, followed by a message saying it was succesfully >> loaded...
