Hi,
I had very similar problems on a system based on FC5. Booting was very
unreliable (hangs during udev initialisation or ivtv firmware would not
load on both cards). After blacklisting ivtv in udev booting went okay and
modprobe would load ivtv (but not always on both cards).
What worked for me, was to disable the last rule (ACTION=="add",
SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", ENV{FIRMWARE}=="*", RUN="/sbin/firmware_helper",
OPTIONS="last_rule") in /etc/udev/rules.d/05-udev-early.rules. This made
everything work 100%.
Odd enough, with my recently self-built 2.6.20 kernel, I actually *need*
this rule again or the firmware will not load at all *and* every reboot
now "just works" again. weird...
Regards,
Stanley.
