Post subject:  Segmentation Fault... eth card? Hauppauge TVWin 190?
I installed KnoppMyth using the auto install. The install went fine, but during the first boot after install I get a segmentation fault approximately during the ethernet card module loading.

However, if I pull the TV card (Hauppauge TVWin 190) it will boot (but obviously no TV). If I pull the network card I can boot, but it stops at the initialization of the network card phase.

I have tried two motherboards (both intel BX), three ethernet cards (2 3com and 1 intel), different sound cards, etc.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Post subject:  tried the TV card
Oh yeah, I tried the TV card in an Windows XP box and it seemed to work OK. I only had a tiny antenna and I was in the basement, but it picked up fuzzy channels.

Have you checked you BIOS? Turn of PnP, APIC(if you BIOS even has it), perhaps assign IRQs to PCI slot.

Post subject:  hmmmm...
Thanks for the tips. I made sure PnP was off and I turned off APIC. That didn't do it.

So, I tried to force IRQs. It looks like I got the AGP card at 11, the NIC at 10 and the TVWin at 9. But I still get a segmentation fault.

This is the error:

Code:
/etc/rcS.d/S20modultils line 26:   69 Segmentation fault   modprobe $module $arg


There is some stuff before it about the stack and a call trace. Then there is the credit to Donald Becker after it for the NIC driver. But the above looks like the error.

Does that help? The installer boots, so I don't think I have a conflict that would prevent booting entirely.

What else could I try?

Post subject:  Hmmm again....
Interestingly enough, when I pull the ethernet card, it still gets a Seg Fault at the same place, but it seems to make it past that. It says that the insmod for the eepro100 driver failed, but it goes through several other steps, including mounting the drives, but then hangs at "Configuring network interface..."

Any thoughts?

Thank you!

Post subject:  works in other OSs
Hmmm... Tonight I got the TV card to work under Mandrake and also under WinXP, so I don't think the card itself is bad.

Any advice?

I tried burning a new copy of the disc (and checked the md5sums), but the same result.

Is there going to be a new version of KnoppMyth soon? It seems like such a great thing and I wish so much that it worked for me!!!

I tried to install to a completely different machine based on a VIA motherboard and I still got the same problem... Grrrr... I wish I could make this work.

Any advice?

You may want to try the 9.x bttv drivers...

Post subject:  updating bttv module
I am trying to update the module, it compiles OK, but then I get:

Code:
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.21-xfs/v4l2/bttv.o


From the driver site it says:

Quote:
modversions seem to cause trouble sometimes. If you get "unresolved symbol" errors for symbols with funny postfixes (symbol_Rrandomchars) try to disable modversions (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS).


Please excuse the dumb question, but how do I disable modversions?

Thank you!

Post subject:  kernel config
OK, so I did a "make menuconfig" and turned on the following:

Code:
 [*]   Set version information on all module symbols


Then I rebuilt the kernel, made modules, and made modules_install.

Then I rebooted off the new kernel and tried to make the newer bttv module and I get the following when I try to "make install":

Code:
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.21-xfs/v4l2/bttv.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.21-xfs/v4l2/ir-common.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.21-xfs/v4l2/msp3400.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.21-xfs/v4l2/tda9887.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.21-xfs/v4l2/tuner.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.21-xfs/v4l2/tvaudio.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.21-xfs/v4l2/v4l1-compat.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.21-xfs/v4l2/video-buf.o


along with unresolved symbols from other modules.

Any advice? What am I doing wrong? How do I get the bttv driver to work? Can I apt-get anything?

I just installed this tuner card last night. And got the same Seg Fault.

I didn't get much chance to debug it yet but I am going to try another round tonight.

For the record I am using a Via based Athlon XP motherboard , an Intel Network card, a WinTV Go model 190, and a TV out video card based on the NVidia G4 440 chipset.

My current thinking is that it has to do with PCI IRQ assignments in the BIOS. I know you looked at that but I am going to explore it in depth tonight just to be sure.

I'll post any results I have (either positive or negative). Perhaps we can solve this faster together..

I tried 3 motherboards, several video cards, several ethernet cards... All to no avail. My guess is that it is the TV card. I couldn't get the newer bttv drivers to work either.

Right now I installed WinXP and am using myHTPC. Embarassing, but that works for now. I may try a linux-based solution again at some point.
