1 Hi,
2
3 I have a
4
5 bttv0: detected: AVermedia AverTV DVB-T 771 [card=123], PCI subsystem ID is 1461:0771
6
7 dvb-t card installed in my PC.
8
9 I am running a vanilla linux kernel version 2.6.37 .
10
11 Furthermore in
12
13 /lib/firmware
14
15 there is a folder called
16
17 av7110
18
19 which I think contains the firmware for that card.
20
21 I read, that I need "hotplug" to load this firmware while booting.
22
23 I did a
24
25 emerge hotplug
26
27 which runs fine but gave me warning that I should emerge coldplug.
28
29 Ok, so I did an additional
30
31 emerge coldplug
32
33 which fails with
34
35 solfire:/home/mccramer>sudo emerge coldplug
36 Calculating dependencies... done!
37 [ebuild N ] sys-apps/coldplug-20040920-r1
38 [blocks B ] sys-apps/coldplug ("sys-apps/coldplug" is blocking sys-fs/udev-151-r4)
39 [blocks B ] >=sys-fs/udev-089 (">=sys-fs/udev-089" is blocking sys-apps/coldplug-20040920-r1)
40
41 * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
42 * installed at the same time on the same system.
43
44 (sys-apps/coldplug-20040920-r1, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
45 coldplug
46
47
48 If I understand this correctly, I have to downgrade udev from udev-151
49 down to udev-089 to be able to install coldplug.
50
51 Is this really needed? How can I install the firmware?
52
53 Thank you very much in advance for any help!
54
55 Best regards,
56 mcc
