I've create a set of Config.in and Makefiles for 2.5. Archive is at: http://warp10.net/dvd/dvb-make.tgz The driver did not work for me with 2.5.42 and CONFIG_PREEMPT enabled, but it also did not lockup as has be reported before. I'm going to rebuild the kernel without PREEMPT and try again IWith CONFIG_PREEMPT i get the following warning in the syslog: Oct 13 18:10:21 apophis kernel: bad: scheduling while atomic!

I guess this could be converted to a semaphore, but i have not tested that theory yet. Andreas -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
