[AG-TECH] video capture

I took out the [1] in the name and got the following error.

 

%rpm -ivh kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-20.EL.i686.rpm

Error: kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-20.EL.i686.rpm cannot be installed

 

I am running as root and I on the 2.4.21-20.EL kernel

 

Thanks,

Got me!  Maybe rename the file taking out the [1].

 

Also, are you running kernel 2.4.21.20 when trying to install?  If you
are running 2.4.21.15, that might break it...

 

Here's the output from my box:

 

[vbabson at rvideo vbabson]$ rpm -qa |grep kernel
kernel-2.4.21-4.EL
kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-15.EL
kernel-utils-2.4-8.37.3
kernel-source-2.4.21-15.EL
kernel-smp-2.4.21-4.EL
kernel-smp-2.4.21-15.EL
kernel-2.4.21-15.EL
kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-13

Let me know if you get anywhere....

	Thank you, Vic.

	 

	I downloaded the kernel-unsupported-2[1].4.21-20.EL.i686.rpm
from your webserver and ran (as root)

	% rpm -ivh  kernel-unsupported-2[1].4.21-20.EL.i686.rpm

	 

	It returned with the following error ...

	Error: File not found by glob:
kernel-unsupported-2[1].4.21-20.EL.i686.rpm

	 

	What am I doing wrong?

	 

	I ran a "rpm -qa | grep kernel" and found that I have the
following kernel packages already installed.

	Kernel-2.4.21-15.EL

	Kernel-2.4.21-20.EL

	Kernel-source-2.4.21-20.EL

	Kernel-utils-2.4-8.37.6

	Kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-13

	 

	Do I need to upgrade any of these first?

	 

	Thanks,

	Patrick,

	 

	I've successfully setup AG 2.2 on RHEL WS3.

	 

	You need to install the kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-xx package.

	 

	I have it on a webserver where you can grab it or just pull it
from redhat's site:

	 

	http://vic.secsg.org/kernel-unsupported-2[1].4.21-20.EL.i686.rpm
<http://vic.secsg.org/kernel-unsupported-2%5b1%5d.4.21-20.EL.i686.rpm> 

	 

	After installing, you might have to run a 

	"modprobe bttv"

	then bttv should show up when you 

	"lsmod"

	 

	Let me know if I can offer any more help:)

	 

	If you get AG 2.3 loaded, please let me know about it.  I
couldn't get it to work, so I moved to Debian...  I'm working out a
hostname problem right now, but at least the install worked.

	 

	--Vic

		I'm attempting to install a Hauppauge WINTV RADIO pci
card (BT878 chipset) on my RedHat Enterprise Linux WS version 3.  The
driver for the card is the bttv driver.  From my research about the
driver it is suppose to be built into the Linux kernel.  I'm running
Kernel 2.4.21-20EL-i686.  RedHat's hardware browser shows the card as a
video capture card and defines the driver as bttv.  However the card is
not "mapped" to a device.  I tried running 

		 

		% xawtv -noxv

		And it returned

		Can't open /dev/video0

		 

		I don't really now how to troubleshoot this as I'm still
a novice Linux user.

		 

		I looked under /lib/modules/<Kernel
version>/Kernel/drivers and I didn't see the bttv module.  When I try to
modprobe for bttv it returns an error saying it can't locate the module.

		However, when I look under
/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-20.EL/drivers/media/video I do see the bttv module
source.

		 

		Do I need to rebuild the Kernel?  I don't know how to
tell if the bttv driver is already there and I don't know how to rebuild
the kernel either.  I apologize if this is the wrong mailing list to be
asking this type of question but if it is could you direct me to where I
can get help?

		 

		Thanks, 

		 

		Patrick
