Post subject:  ivtv cannot load firmware with R5B7

I just did an auto upgrade to the newest knoppmyth everything seems to be good except that now ivtv won't start:


ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================
ivtv: version 0.4.3 (tagged release) loading
ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.15-chw-2 SMP preempt 586 gcc-3.3
ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info between
ivtv: the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines, along with
ivtv: any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist.
ivtv0: Autodetected WinTV PVR 350 card (cx23415 based)
ivtv0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32)
tuner 0-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #0)
ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=(tuner unset), addr=61]
ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=MSP4448G-A2, addr=40]
saa7115 0-0021: saa7115 found @ 0x42 (ivtv i2c driver #0)
ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=saa7115, addr=21]
ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=tveeprom, addr=50]
saa7127 0-0044: saa7127 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #0)
ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=saa7127, addr=44]
ivtv0: unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw
ivtv0: did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory?
ivtv0 warning: failed loading encoder firmware
ivtv0 warning: Error loading firmware -3!
ivtv0: Error -3 initializing firmware.
ivtv0: Error -12 on initialization
ivtv: probe of 0000:00:0c.0 failed with error -12
ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ====================

and yet:
ls /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/v4l-*
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/v4l-cx25840.fw

all seems to be where it should...

oh and I have a PVR350 that has been working great with an older version for many months.

any ideas?

Run these commands & reboot:
Code:
cd /etc
mv -f modules modules.orig
sed '/ivtv/d' <modules.orig >modules
diff modules.orig modules

Thanks tjc, I had pretty much the same issue, and those commands fixed it, but my diff result was 40d39 (??).
I doubt we'd have figured THAT one out on our own ! :P
