Working on i386 and PPC Fedora 7: Avermedia, WinFast PCI and Nova-T USB2
|
|
Hello,
After struggling for a few days, both boxes (i386 and PPC) needed
mscorefonts in order to see text on initial screens in mythtv-setup and
mythfrontend. We shouldn't need mscorefonts if the Liberation fonts are
up to scratch.
The i386 box has one Avermedia PCI and 2 WinFast PCI cards. The stock
initial kernel works but needed:
/etc/sysconfig/modules/dvb.modules
#!/bin/sh
modprobe cx88-dvb
modprobe dvb-bt8xx
The PPC box with its two Nova-T USB (2040:7060) Model 294 sticks didn't
like Fedora 7 (F7)s initial kernel or its update. It took the latest
vanilla kernel 2.6.21.1 and this weeks v4l clone and a lot of messing
about with firmwares to find that the dvb-usb-dib0700-01.fw firmware
that came with the v4l code was the one to work. A lot of red herrings
out there...
I have this in /etc/sysconfig/modules/nova-t.modules
#!/bin/sh
modprobe dvb-usb-nova-t-usb2
modprobe dvb-usb-dibusb-common
modprobe dvb-usb
though I'm not sure what's important.
My big tip for the day is: unplug the USB stick every time you want to
test a firmware.
Hope this is useful and doesn't misdirect anyone.
Owen.
