[ivtv-users] Hauppauge HVR-1600 driver/firmware issues

[David Kirby]

I'm running OpenSuSE 11.0 with the latest kernel 2.6.25.5.  I'm trying to
get the Hauppauge HVR-1600 installed and working with MythTV.  I can't seem
to get the cx18 module loaded, which appears to be at the very least my next
critical step.  Everything else seems to be working OK so far...  Sorry for
the long post, but I know the logs and specific info is often the key.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

I've been following the installation information in the MythTV wiki at:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_HVR-1600

I've successfully compiled the driver (make, make install, make unload)
from: http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb.

* Here is where I have a departure from the posted instructions.  If I
attempt the 'modprobe cx18' following the make unload, I get a 'module not
found' error...

I've copied the latest cx18 firmware from:
http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/firmware/cx18-firmware.tar.gz to /lib/firmware
(*.fw)

I've rebooted.

dmesg does not indicate that the cx18 drivers were loaded.

Here is a little info on the card:

The card does not appear to be generating obvious errors on boot (but I'm
not entirely sure I know what to be looking for.  I'm not a newbie, but not
an expert either), attached is the complete dmesg output (I apologize for
posting the whole thing, but want to make sure there is nothing I've
missed...need another set of eyes at this point).
