I looked carefully at your comments and did not find an error like yours No message RANT But i did find a message in lsmod about a missing eprom and i think there could be something wrong.

I can send the complete output, if you want Thanks Erik =====>>>>>>lsmod shows this: Module Size Used by bt878 15305 0 video_buf 28997 1 bttv ir_common 32197 1 bttv compat_ioctl32 5569 1 bttv i2c_algo_bit 12873 1 bttv btcx_risc 9161 1 bttv tveeprom 18513 1 bttv i2c_core 25537 4 i2c_ec,bttv,i2c_algo_bit,tveeprom videodev 27073 1 bttv v4l1_compat 16453 1 videodev v4l2_common 26305 2 bttv,videodev =====>>>>>>>>/sbin/lspci shows te following: 00:06.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 02) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 21 Memory at ea425000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K] 00:06.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 02) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 21 Memory at ea426000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K] =====>>>>>>>dmesg shows this: (SO I think the card must be almost correctly recognised BUT WHY THAN an ERR121 NO Eprom) ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:02.3[B] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 21 Linux video capture interface: v2.00 ohci1394: fw-host0: OHCI-1394 1.0 (PCI): IRQ=[21] MMIO=[ea427000-ea4277ff] Max Packet=[2048] IR/IT contexts=[4/6] bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).
