Hi, I have a
bttv0: detected: AVermedia AverTV DVB-T 771 [card=123], PCI subsystem ID is 1461:0771 dvb-t card installed in my PC. I am running a vanilla linux kernel version 2.6.37 . Furthermore in /lib/firmware there is a folder called av7110 which I think contains the firmware for that card. I read, that I need "hotplug" to load this firmware while booting. I did a emerge hotplug which runs fine but gave me warning that I should emerge coldplug. Ok, so I did an additional emerge coldplug which fails with solfire:/home/mccramer>sudo emerge coldplug Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] sys-apps/coldplug-20040920-r1 [blocks B ] sys-apps/coldplug ("sys-apps/coldplug" is blocking sys-fs/udev-151-r4) [blocks B ] >=sys-fs/udev-089 (">=sys-fs/udev-089" is blocking sys-apps/coldplug-20040920-r1) * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be * installed at the same time on the same system. (sys-apps/coldplug-20040920-r1, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by coldplug If I understand this correctly, I have to downgrade udev from udev-151 down to udev-089 to be able to install coldplug. Is this really needed? How can I install the firmware? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, mcc
