Re: Lubuntu doesn't seem to recognize IOmega Buz capture card

Hallo,

sorry I was offline for quite a while.

You write in the subject that you have a Iomega Buz card, but the lspci 
output say's ZR36057. Which was used in the DC10/DC30. Does your card 
have a SCSI interface connector and a 15 pin connector on the backplane ?
The buz was the most problematic card, because it had a PCI Switch on 
the card for the ZR36067 and the SCSI controller.

That should be no problem just use the zr36067 instead.

It should also load the driver for the TV decoder and encoder.

When you do a lsmod | grep zr you should see the loaded modules. Are 
some v4l (video4linux) modules loaded too ?

I don't know if it is a problem if the lspci does not show you the card. 
Does the lspci command (or some boot log) show you a hint that the scsi 
controller ist recognized.

When you start in a 2nd terminal a command like that:
tail -f /var/log/messages

You should see the messages when the kernel loads the driver. That 
output would be very helpful.

> Thoughts on how I should proceed?
The output from the kernel when you load the drivers should be very 
helpful. To see if that kernel recognizes the card.
