I had MythTV 0.18 running just fine on a Gentoo 2.6.11-r6 kernel built
with genkernel. Then I upgraded the hardware to a Athlon 2800 XP
processor running on an Asus motherboard with an Nvidia2 chipset and
upgraded the kernel to 2.6.13-r5 from Gentoo sources using genkernel.
The system has a PVR-250 and I added a pcHDTV-3000 card. I mention this
card in case there's some known conflicts. I have used the
module-rebuild and modules-update tools to recompile those modules that
needed to be against the new kernel. The specific modules were
nvidia-kernel, ivtv, and svgalib. I also reemerged lirc as that wasn't
included in the module-rebuild tool.
But the two things I can't seem to get working are ALSA and lirc. My
sound card is an Audigy that uses the emu10k1 driver. Following the
Gentoo ALSA guide (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml), I've
tried both the kernel and alsa-driver method. The card is detected.
All the 'cat /proc/asound' stuff as described in the "Issues" section of
the guide produces expected results. All my volume levels are up and
unmuted in 'alsamixer'. Yet I get no sound. What else might I check?
What should I delete to be sure all ALSA stuff is gone so I can try
again from scratch? Any other ideas on how to get this working? This
same card was working before my upgrades.
And lirc won't load. I get these errors when inserting the module:
tv mythtv # modprobe lirc_dev
FATAL: Error inserting lirc_dev
(/lib/modules/2.6.13-gentoo-r5/misc/lirc_dev.ko): Unknown symbol in
module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
tv mythtv # modprobe lirc_i2c
WARNING: Error inserting lirc_dev
(/lib/modules/2.6.13-gentoo-r5/misc/lirc_dev.ko): Unknown symbol in
module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
FATAL: Error inserting lirc_i2c
(/lib/modules/2.6.13-gentoo-r5/misc/lirc_i2c.ko): Unknown symbol in
module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
Any ideas on how to get this working as well? And the modules.conf
items used to be in /etc/modules.d/ivtv but now the new ivtv doesn't
need its lines as it autodetects. So where should I put the lirc
lines? Leave them where they are? Create a /etc/modules.d/lirc?
Thanks for any help. I've Googled and experimented for over a week now
but can't get these two issues resolve. I MISS MY MYTHTV!!! :)
Thanks,
Drew
