Steve Scrimpshire Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 If you are using a 2.6.* kernel, then these lines: #grandtec multicapture card alias char-major-81 bttv options bttv radio=0 card=77 options tuner type=4 # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev need to be in /etc/modprobe.conf If you are using a 2.4.* kernel, try rearranging these lines in /etc/modules.conf: #grandtec multicapture card alias char-major-81 bttv options bttv radio=0 card=77 options tuner type=4 to look like this: #grandtec multicapture card options bttv radio=0 card=77 options tuner type=4 alias char-major-81 bttv or if that doesn't work: options bttv radio=0 card=77 tuner=4 alias char-major-81 bttv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris-tux Posted June 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 (edited) I put it in modprobe.conf but it doesn't load the module bttv. So I added bttv to /etc/modprobe.preload. Then the module was loaded at boot but not using the good options, I had to put all the options on one line #grandtec multicapture card alias char-major-81 bttv options bttv card=77 tuner=4 radio=0 Then it worked ... I really nead how the modules are loaded with a 2.6.* kernel, I mean a step by step doc... If anyone has got one, it is welcome :D Edited June 10, 2004 by chris-tux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
