Hallo,
I tried to build these drivers in order to get my Hauppauge PVR-500 card
to work
Note: I had the card working on previous releases thanks to the info in
ivtvdrivers.org, but this site is empty now.
The packages needed have the same name as for Redhat, and I have been
able to build apparently successfully.
BUT
When I booted the next day, the boot process blocked. By rebooting and
using the verbose mode, I saw some message passing by mentioning ivtv,
plus 10 (or more) lines of codes (the ivtv message scrolled off the
screen) and at last "Fixing recursive fault, but this requires reboot".
So I rebooted two more times, and then I could start the PC, but I did
not check the video device, I had not enough time for that.
The next day, I had the same booting problem again, and I gave up after
10 reboots, and re-installed Mandriva. After that, I could not find
anything on the events in the logs (I have /var on a separate partition,
so it does not get completely wiped out by a re-installation).
I will check the Mandriva User group on this, and keep you informed if
anything comes out of it.
Regards
Herman Viaene
