Here is my kernel version:
2.4.20-13.9
bttv driver is 0.7 ....
I found the following:
1)Only two of the cards would work until I updated the kernel
2)The chipset on the system board makes a difference, Intel 845 is problematic in some cases
3)using an 845 chipset board I had to disable X windows (i.e. go to run level 3) to make my own grabber software work.
4)on an Nforce2 or VIA KT4 board there were no such problems.
Run level 3 is not much use to you if you want Xawtv, but in that case got X windows I found that non 845 boards were best
The old PC TV rave board worked in all cases.

>From what you have said and from my kernel print out it looks like your cards might be a slightly different model to mine.
Let me know what else you might need,

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello again,Dear Juan, I have four of these in one machine with no problem, I am using Red Hat 9. Regards PeteSo it is possible!!, OK, then, please, please, give me a hand with this. I just tried everything that I possibly can, but no answers. I'll explain exactly what I do, and everything that is needed in order to find out where is my failure. If I do a modprobe bttv, it loads by itself the tuner module and some others (like the tda9887). The logs are: Jun 16 21:19:03 december tda9885/6/7: 0xd4 0x6e 0x09 [pinnacle_id=2] Jun 16 21:19:03 december MT2032: Companycode=4d54 Part=04 Revision=04 Jun 16 21:19:03 december kernel: bttv0: PLL can sleep, using XTAL (35468950).

So it says that I do have a MT2032 tuner, and also sets pinnacle_id to 2. Would you tell me if you managed to make your cards work under some other distribution besides RH? I've been working with debian for 3 years, and a week ago i switched to gentoo, but same behaviour. Thank you very much in advance.
