Added the message above: Maybe google will now find this solution now...
What is the real meaning of "could not load firmware, file not found:"?
Check the correct firmware directory with: $ grep FIRMWARE_DIR= /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent
If that file is not present, please install hotplug.
That was the problem. an "aptitude install hotplug" solved the problem. Thanks.
I had "hotplug" removed because with it i could not boot the 2.4.29 kernel anymore with sarge because that oopses.
But maybe the driver can state more clearly what is going on? The only, minmal "hint" that this may has to do with "hotplug" is in the path!
Maybe:
dvb-ttpci: firmware.agent can't load firmware dvb-ttpci-01.fw dvb-ttpci: usually it should be in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware and dvb-ttpci: can be downloaded from http://www.linuxtv.org/download/dvb/firmware/ dvb-ttpci: activate hotplug if the file exists and you see this message
It's lengthly, true, but the realtionship is really not obvious for a non programmer. Of course it would be better if the dirver could activate the resoruces it needs by it's own...writing that text is easier ;-)
