[ivtv-users] Insertion erros when installing cx18

[daryl]

Andy.
I just realized that my responses to some of your requests were not 
included in my last letter.

I did include my log messages, etc but I did not mention that..

1. I did blacklist the cx18 driver byI editing /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist 
and adding "blacklist cx18" to the bottom of the file.

2. I ran
$ sudo modprobe -r cx18
$ sudo modprobe cx18 debug=67 retry_mmio=1 enc_mpg_buffers=1 
enc_ts_buffers=0 enc_vbi_buffers=0 enc_yuv_buffers=0 enc_pcm_buffers=0

3. The driver did not load ok so I ran...
$ sudo modprobe -r cx18

4. I then sent you the output messages.

Sorry for the delay.
