Installation Problems with Cinergy Hybrid T XS [solved]

Hi

I tried installing my Terratec Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS according to http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Em2880#Installation but I'm stuck at the moment.

The Problem is, that after modprobe em2880_dvb which works and many other modules get loaded to, there should be an /dev/dvb/... or /dev/video0 but there isn't.

after modprobe em2880_dvb lsmod shows this:

this problem is solved now. It was the driver that did not support this Card yet. Does now. Great work.

Please can you tell me how you installed the em2880-dvb module?
with "hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mrechberger/v4l-dvb" or did you use the "media-tv/v4l-dvb-hg"-ebuild?

can you tell me what a kernel-config you use? enabled or disabled dvb and v4l cores in the kernel?

i get these errors if i tried "modprobe em2880-dvb"

WARNING: Error inserting em28xx (/lib/modules/2.6.17-gentoo-r8/kernel/drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Can anybody tell me whats wrong here?

Hello!

Your are not alone

I have the same problems too as doitux
And i don't know how to use the drivers right.

The Ebuild v4l-dvb-hg provides an driver too, but seems he doesn't create the device-node.

So i did some checks and saw that my device has anothe id. so i start emerge, press Ctrl+Z, modified the em28xx-cards.c and tried again: no chance/no change...
Sh***

Hm... so ... tried it with hg clone and with emerge, without success...

Hope there is a solution near the next time, otherwise i will try to change the card in the job.

Hello,

I used the driver from Markus Rechberger (v4l-dvb-merge) with "hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mrechberger/v4l-dvb-merge". There are several different versions of this card on the market. Check the device ID with lsusb. Mine was not yet supported by the driver, but Markus did include it. Cannot post my ID now, because I don't have the card at hand. I can post it tomorrow.
@NightDragon: Could be the same problem as mine. If it doesn't work with markus' driver ask him on http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Talk:Em2880

I use suspend2-sources-2.6.16-r8. I did not enable v4l in the kernel (I think the driver does include this). Only DVB-support and the DVB-core as module. And DVB-USB also as module (not sure if this is needed)

I hope this can help

Ok, my device ID from lsusb:

Hi everybody!
I have also problems with this stick.
I have no V4l or in my kernel only dvb and dvb-core as module.
after installing the merge tree i get following output:
I just want to get analogTV working:

First of all something in general. For problems concerning the em28xx driver, have a look at http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Talk:Em2880 . There you can also ask Markus Rechberger (wrote the driver) directly.

@luftdufd:

firmware: Have you done the firmware thingy described in the installation instructions? This doesn't seem to be the problem, it doesn't even try to load it. But just to make sure. Then, do you have I2C Support in your kernel or something ? I'm not sure, but I think the firmware loading has to do something with this I2C thing. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I have the following enabled in the kernel:

higher in this thread i find the same problem im having,

First: Hello from Austria to Switzerland

As i know, there are different Firmware-Packages for Different DVB-Sticks.
So you have to put the right package into /lib/firmware

Which Kind of Stick are you using?
(Please post also the output of lsusb)

Cinergy XS USB ID 0ccd:0042 TerraTec under kernel 2.6.21 gentoo-sources not loading firmware version 3 or 2 or 1.

i have reported the case to the driver developer, here:

http://mcentral.de/wiki/index.php/Talk:Em2880#Cinergy_XS_USB_under_kernel_2.6.21_gentoo-sources_not_loading_firmware

but any light people here can give me is very much appreciated.

Okay, seems we have the same one.

Have look there: http://mcentral.de/wiki/index.php/Em2880#Installation
You will find 4 lists with different kinds of devices.
Each List uses it's own set of firmware.
So you have to try.
As i remember i used V3 for my Stick.

HTH,

There are no different Names. Correct me if I'm wrong:

ls /lib/firmware

uhmm this is what i have from version 3 uncompressed after deleting the old ones... i cannot see the problem... and what you mention about the in-kernel firmware loader i should have otherwise i guess the firmware for my midi keyboard wont work..

i will double check on that..

and yes, thanks for your help
