[mythtv-users] cx18-0: frontend initialization failed - error 12

[daryl]

Although I have not gotten my Hauppauge 1600 card working yet, I did, at 
various times, have the cx18 driver installed and recognized. However, I 
have just reinstalled Hardy and performed nessessary operations to 
install cx18, and this time cx18 is not recognized.

These are the steps I followed...

$ sudo apt-get install mercurial linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential
$ hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
$ cd ~/v4l*
$ sudo make
$ sudo make install

At this point I obtained the new firmware files from 
http://www.box.net/shared/l57vmuog8k and unzipped them and put them into 
my  /lib/firmware/
2.6.24-21-generic file.

$ sudo reboot
$ dmesg | grep cx18

Near the end should say something like:
[ 42.230394] cx18-0: Initialized card #0: Hauppauge HVR-1600.

It does not.

Here is my  dmesg | grep cx18 result...

Is there a fix for this, or is there a problem with my Hardy 
installation or something else? Why was my card recognized at other times?
