[mpeg2] kfir insmod problems

[Tony Brummett <tony@blight.com>]

Hopefully there are still a few people subscribed to the list :)

I've recently reinstalled the OS on machine.  Previously, it had RedHat
7.3 with a custom 2.4.17 (I think) kernel, and the kfir board was working
fine.  Now, it has RedHat 9.  I tarred up and saved the source code from
the driver and firmware I was using before.  Everything compiles fine, but
when I install the kfir driver with the command:

insmod kfir vidinmode=1 vidoutmode=0 vidinput=0 vidrate=5000000 \
	sndfreq=6 debug=1

I get this output from the kernel:

kfir: Kfir board revision 5e
loaded microcode with length 32385
kfir: Reset Altera
kfir: done
kfir: Reset Kfir and PLL ... done
kfir: ADSP loading failed!
kfir: ADSP loading failed!

kfir: segment: 0  Failed
i2c-core.o: adapter kfir #0 registered as adapter 0.
kfir: decoder status=e0930001

And trying "cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg" produces a 0 length file.

I've tried several combinations of things, and they all get this same
result, using the RedHat 9 kernel or custom built 2.4.17, 2.4.18 and 2.4.22
kernels.  Using gcc 3.2.2 from RedHat9, or my own build of gcc 2.95.3.
I remember there being some issue with USB, so I've tried having it compiled
in, as a module both loaded and unloaded, and not including USB at all.

And now I'm out of ideas.  Anything else I could try?
