Very Slow bootup. Hardware detection?

Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2007 11:54 pm

Not a zoneminder question, but I think I have a better chance of getting an answer here than in ubuntuforums.org. :)

I am trying to get a cheap 8 chip card to work. It works, abet oddly, in the official ZM live cd. When booting in ubuntu, however, bootup takes a looooong time. I am thinking this has to do with hardware detection. See the relevent parts of my dmesg below. Any thought on how to fix this? It is a conexiant based bt878 card, and it works in the live cd. Not tested yet in ubuntu... (In case it needs another distro)

Bump.

No one is touching this on any forum. HELP! The card works great after booting, but with two cards that is 10 minutes!

heh, Sorry I seen this before and got distracted.
The problem is that it's trying to auto detect the cards and tuner info.
Try to modprobe the cards as card 10 or 77 and set the tuners to 4 to disable them. this will get you around the delay. After you figure out a setup that works, send an email to the v4l guys with a lspci -vv snip of the card and what you have in your modpobe that works so they can get this cards setup in the drivers.

I had the exact same problem....I am pretty sure I have the same card as you too (yellow internal connector?) compile i2c_algo_bit as a module and pass bit_test=1 to it...

modprobe i2c_algo_bit bit_test=1

I intalled ZM from Mandriva 2007 Livecd and has a 8 ports card that seems to be similar to yours.
Also had the problem of at least 5 minutes halt while booting.

Code: Select all

modprobe i2c_algo_bit bit_test=1
solved.
Just that instead of Modprobe, i simply added a line to modprobe.conf

options i2c_algo_bit bit_test=1

also has
options bttv gbuffers=16 radio=-1 tuner=4 card=102,102,102,102,102,102,102,102

Thanks for the tip

forgive my ignorance but what is that module for?

Bttv works over i2c bus it looks as if algo_bit provides bit-banging..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit-banging

In menuconfig its listed as I2C bit-banging interfaces [CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT]
