Hi,
It works fine, just don't use a Redhat kernel. Download a pristine Linus' tree from kernel.org, apply patches, and off you go. The redhat kernel has all kinds of lovely patches for stability etc... which, while nice, thoroughly break the v4l2 patches. I've been doing that for 2.4.18 and 2.4.19, and the kernel builds correctly, although the modules end up in a funny place. I would expect them to go into /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/drivers/media/video but they actually get put into /lib/modules/2.4.19/v4l2. Strange, but depmod finds them OK, and modprobe works. unfortunately, the machine then hangs solid. well the kernel build is clean :-) Pablo Rodr406ez wrote: > Hi! i've tried it.
