Kernel and saa7134 help

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello all,

Although I'm no linux newbie, most of my experience comes from LinuxPPC
and, well, things are different enough to make my little PVR project a
little bit more difficult than I expected.

I just bought a AMD Athlon-based PC with a FlyVideo 2000 card. My plan
is to use it with MythTV.

I installed the latest Red Hat on it (the linux PPC I use is very
similar to Red Hat). I got pretty much everything working except the
saa7134 card. I tried recompiling the current RH kernel with v4l2 patch
applied and I got stuck trying to use it (coudn't figure out what that
*.img file is for grub and the one I tried to make didn't work). I then
turned to atrpms. They supposedly had kernels and everything else to
make this work. Well, their saa7134 drivers won't load because of
kernel-module mismatch. I then tried to recompile the saa7134 alone with
the kernel-source atrpms package (using the rather short instructions on
bytesex.org) and it woudn't compile (got some error that I will be happy
to post here if needed).

I usually like to find stuff for myself but I have been at it for a week
now and made very limited progresses. If someone got a similar setup to
work, I would very much appreciate some pointers (what versions of
drivers worked, RPMs or kernel do you use). 

Thanks,

Etienne
