There is no messages about bttv / bt878 in /var/log/messages. When the file /etc/modprobe.d/50-tv.conf is copied from OS 12.3 and modeprobe bttv issued manually (or file bttv.conf with the only line bttv put into /etc/modules-load.d) everything starts working correctly.

Install OS 13.1 from DVD, apply all updates 2. Verify that bttv driver is not loaded (lsmod) 3. issue modprobe bttv 4. verify that module is correctly loaded Actual Results: module bttv is not auto-loaded Expected Results: module bttv should be auto-loaded as in all previous versions -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Without that info bttv # does not know how to treat them properly. Therefore we disable autoloading of # modules for these devices. # See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=149588 # To enable your device create a hardware configuration file for your device. # See man hwup for details. # You will probably have to specify an option to identify your card. Have a # look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv. alias pci:v0000109Ed0000036Esv00000000sd00000000bc04sc00i00 bttv_skip_it alias pci:v0000109Ed00000878sv00000000sd00000000bc04sc80i00 bttv_skip_it install bttv_skip_it echo "module alias skipped (bt878 chip without PCI Subsystem ID)" So, it's an (unfortunate) intentional behavior. I guess a quick fix is just to load this module forcibly by adding an entry in /usr/lib/modules-load.d/*.conf. Could you give it a try? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I remembered I used to remove bttv from blacklist for some time, but somehow I do not remember doing it for 12.3. As I wrote in the report, I added the module to /etc/modules-load.d and it solved the problem, so I guess /usr/lib/modules-load.d will work as well. Interesting that my systems never hanged with this card (as described in the bug 149588). I had to just edit the options to select the correct card type (manually or using Yast). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Then I'd like to close this bug as WONTFIX. It's no good situation, but a workaround is present, and the behavior is intentional. Feel free to reopen if I miss anything else.
