Unfortunately that isn't the problem. I did install the kernel. Look at my post and you'll notice the other pieces (config-*-rc1, System.map-*-rc1, vmlinuz-*-rc1) are there but initrd-*-rc1 is not there.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
(I edit my post to show that the other kernel files are present) |

When I said to type rpm -ivh kernel_rpm_file, I did not mean it literary.
Well i first took it literally because at the start of your script, i saw -# Download the firmware
mkdir -p /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware. I assumed "firmware" was a filename to look up, but it turned out it IS called "firmware" on the pchdtv site so I took the rest literally.
Now I have 2.6.12-rc1 installed, all the updates, but the card when run with dtvsignal and the various device choices, it come up but with a zero signal level..I had read a post earlier on this but it has been deleted from the forum..
So now what? and thanks for your help, even if it is, well never mind..Just keep helping us loyal customers of pchdtv.
**************UPDATE getting nowhere so far my fault...4 months so far, enjoy learning linux, but many buying cards may not think so |

Three pcHDTV 3000s on one machine |

I put three pcHDTV 3000 cards into one amd64 motherboard, and just tested they all work at the same time, using
xawtv -remote -noxv -c /dev/video2 -C /dev/vbi2
Nice and stable too. That's all using the analog v4l2 driver. Small screenshot 100k showing channel windows over a 100MB network
http://owens.cogweb.net/Images/4tv-small.pngScreenshot (includes a fourth session from a second computer).
That's using the 2.6.12-rc1 kernel, the cards are autoconfigured at boot, so fantastic work done on this.
I use this to capture, but mencoder segfaults:
mencoder -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:norm=ntsc-m -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128 -endpos 30 -o outfile.mpg tv://
Are other people seeing this?

Hi all
Kernel.org has posted the linux-2.6.12.rc2 patch on their server last night. I downloaded it, patched linux-2.6.11 and it oompiled clean! Now I have to go to work

went through whole install again and ends here:
i did this line, rpm -ivh `ls kernel-2.6.12*.rpm | sort | tail -n 1`
it did its thing i edited the grub to load 2.6.12-rc1
it says booting from 2.6.12 etc, but when i do uname -r ist says i am running 2.6.11
now what
btw just noticed rc2 is out..sorry, I am a newbie to linux but not dos, so i understand context, windows is a necessary evil, most of the population uses it. Most overeat too. |

Hello,
I just installed 2.6.12-rc2 on my gentoo box (vanilla-sources ebuild). I compiled v4l and dvb frontend for pcHDTV into my kernel. After a reboot I see the video0 and vbi0 devices in /dev, but I can't get a signal (i.e. dtvsignal /dev/video0 40 yields 0 signal).
My old 2.6.8 kernel which I patched by hand from the pchdtv download area works fine.
Any ideas what I can do to debug this issue?
Thanks in advance

You need to get the dvb apps from the linuxtv CVS to use the DVB driver (digital video) which will be on /dev/adapter0/xxxx0. The dtvsignal app is for use with the older v4l interface which wasnt accepted into the kernel.
/dev/video0 is the NTSC (analog video) interface so, yes, you won't see anything there with dtvsignal. A second option is to use (only) the cx88-atsc module from the 2.0 driver instead of the DVB driver. Then dtvsignal will work with the HD3000. Personally I would take the time to get the DVB stuff setup.

Hi Rusty,
Thanks for your help. I grabbed the DVB tools from linuxtv.org, then I noticed that I didn't have a directory /dev/adapter0/ or anything in /dev/dvb/ . Does this indicate a problem with the driver loading? Or do I simply need to create /dev/adapter0/* myself? If so, do you have an example?
Thanks again!
Don

Rusty:
shouldn't you create a new post with FC3 and Kernel 2.6.12rc2? and modify your scrip accordingly?
Please make sure that the new scrip applies to all newbies  !!!
Thanks alot for you help!

Hi,
I got home from work so I could do important things like work on the dvb software. This morning I had patched the kernel linux-2.6.11 with 2.6.12-rc2 patch. This went smooth without errors. I checked to see that /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware drivers were still there(from earlier attempts) Tonight I then used dvb-apps and used the perl script to run channel.conf for my area, SF bay. Then
'./azap -c channel.conf KGO'. and I saw the sweetest text:
.........FE_HAS_LOCK ! 
FYI, I am running AMD 2600. Mandrake 10.1 (started out that is)
nVidia FX5200. HD-2000 card. I have been using Mythtv with the 1.5 driver and 2.6.7 fairly sucessfully.
Thanks to many people on this list for the help. I lurk it constantly. I just received an HD-3000 card, so I am not done yet.
Bye

Jerry,
Regarding your install of 2.6.12-r2, are you using the pcHDTV 2000 or 3000?
If you are using the 2000, I would be very interested to know which kernel options you are using? I've been trying to get 2.6.12.-r2 to work with my pcHDTV 2000 card and have had no luck (the /dev/adapter/* devices are not created!).
So, specifically, did you compile the following into the kernel?
Video 4 Linux
DVB or51211
bttv
Thanks for your help!

Photowave,
Gentoo is trully a double-edged sord. On the plus side, it lets you customize like crazy. On the negative side, it lets you customize like crazy. 
In any case, it looks like some of your packages have been built without the proper dvb support. It could be udev or it could be the kernel. I am not sure. Also, I noticed, you are loading the "bttv" driver. That driver is used by the pcHDTV's 2.0 driver. PCHDTV's driver and the kernel driver cannot be installed at the same time.
The bottom like is that somehow, you have added the pchdtv's driver and removed dvb drivers from your kernel. This is not a vanilla kernel.
Here is what the output of a vanilla kernel should look like:
| Code: | Linux video capture interface: v1.00

That is the output of loading two pcHDTV 3000 cards by a vanilla kernel (2.6.12-rc2).
Try to build a vanilla kernel. That will solve your problem.

Thank you HDTV buff!! Your last message gave me the clue I needed! I now have signal lock on my local HDTV broadcast channels using 2.6.12.-r2 with no extra mods.
Here's a quick HOWTO for pcHDTV 2000 and 2.6.12-r2 using Gentoo:
o Edit the /etc/make.conf and add "dvb" to the USE variable
o Select the following options when building the kernel (I used genkernel to make my kernel)
| Code: | -Drivers
-Multimedia Devices
<*> Video for Linux
-Video for Linux
<*> BT848 Video for Linux
-Digital Video Brodacasting Device
<*> DVB for Linux
<*> DVB Core Support
--Supported BT878 Adapters--
<*> Nebula/Pinnacle PCTV/Twinham PCI Cards
-- Customize DVB Frontends-- |
o Run the /usr/src/linux/Documentation/dvb/get_dvb_firmware (/usr/src/linux should be the location of your kernel source, YMMV) script:
| Code: | | perl get_dvb_firmware or51211 |
copy the resulting ".fw" file to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
o Use the DVB apps from linuxtv.org (CVS the dvb-apps directory) to scan and tune.
o If all goes well, you should see the following devices:
| Code: | /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0
/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
/dev/dvb/adapter0/net0 |
and the following output from dmesg:
| Code: | tuner 0-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (bt878 #0 [sw])
tuner 0-0061: type set to 42 (Philips 1236D ATSC/NTSC daul in)
bt878(0): Bt878 (rev 17) at 00:09.1, irq: 17, latency: 32, memory: 0xeffff000
DVB: registering new adapter (bttv0).
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Oren OR51211 VSB Frontend)... |
Tadaa!
The tricky parts are, using the "dvb" USE flag, and knowing that you should choose the Nebula/Pinnacle BT878 Adapters. If you don't choose the Nebula/Pinnacle module, then the Customize DVB Frontends kernel options will allow you to choose the pcHDTV 2000 kernel option by itself (which won't work unless you have the selected several other very un-obvious kernel choices).
Thanks to everyone out on the list who are offering their experiences, every bit helps!
