[ATrpms-users] IVTV Firmware not loading

[Beny Spensieri Jr]

Correction, I forgot to rebuild the initial ramdisk.

After I executed "mkinitrd-ivtv -f --ivtvdev /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r`" I rebooted and got the same message at startup, but it was followed by a screenful of more text.

I then recieved the following message in /var/log/messages:
[root at localhost ~]# dmesg |grep ivtv
ivtv:  ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================

I also get the following at the command line that I didn't get before:

[root at localhost ~]# /sbin/rmmod ivtv
ERROR: Module ivtv is in use by ivtv_fb
[root at localhost ~]# /sbin/rmmod ivtv_fb
ERROR: Module ivtv_fb is in use

Before I could "/sbin/rmmod ivtv" and then "/sbin/modprobe ivtv" and it would work, now I can't.
 
Any more suggestions?
