I believe the -ENOMEM error is gone, as I no longer see it.

When you provide dmesg output from a modprobe could you please provide the full demsg output between the final "cx18: Start Initialization" and "cx18: End Initialization". The "Invalid EEPROM" message and "Could not start the CPU" are of interest, but we need to see all the log messages, since cx18 relies on and loads tveeprom, cs5345, mxl5005s, cx25840, tuner, and other modules. The grep cuts out their messages. Also could you do: # modprobe -r cx18 # modprobe tveeprom debug=1 # modprobe cx18 debug=71 To enable tveeprom debug messages and cx18 info, warn, mailbox, and i2c messages.
