[linux-dvb] Re: HELP! - old Nova-T - Gentoo 2.6.10 - firmware- not working.

[Scott White <scott-dvb@riskboys.com>]

Aha!  I'm suffering the same problem.  Gentoo 2.6.10-r6

# lspci
0000:01:02.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev

0000:01:06.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev

# lspci -vn
0000:01:02.0 Class 0480: 1131:7146 (rev 01)
        Subsystem: 13c2:1011
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 17
        Memory at f7f20400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)

0000:01:06.0 Class 0480: 1131:7146 (rev 01)
        Subsystem: 13c2:1011
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 20
        Memory at f7f20000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)

and I am seeing 

tda1004x: waiting for firmware upload...

I tried the one line change to the kernel source and recompile, but didn't fix it.

Tried CVS and now firmware loads :-)  

All I need to do is remember how to permanently replace my kernel modules
