|
My mythtv box died recently, and out of a lack of another computer to use, thought that I would see if I could get my PVR-500 tuner to work in my Sun Fire V120. The card seems to be recognized fine, but the kernel module can't seem to properly load the firmware onto the tuner. The issue seems to be that the I2C module on the motherboard is not communicating properly with the card, based on these lines from the system log:

The errors continue for a bit before it attempts to load the firmware onto the tuner card by loading the ivtv module:

It will continue to time out as long as I have the module loaded. It does not matter whether I have the I2C drivers loaded as modules as suggested by the ivtv driver, or build into the kernel. The V4L and tuner card drivers are built as modules. I have also tried this with a few different kernels, 2.6.23 and the most recent, 2.6.27-r8.
Anyone have an idea as to what could be wrong? Or is it simply foolish to expect the card to work in a SPARC machine?
