Hello Holger, OK, so now I have moved it (the DVB card) around in my computer, and there's still _some_ outcommand error 1 in the log, but fewer, I think.
This is a new motherboard, I do not think (but I'm not too sure) I had outcommand errors in the last computer (a P3@910). This one (a KT333 athlon 1800) has a lot of PCI settings which may be part of the problem. (Could this error occur because of PCI latency settings?) APIC is selected (MPS 1.4), so there's no IRQ sharing/conflicts. In my kernel, I have also the preemtable patch (part of Gentoo kernel), could this be a reason? The errors seems to occur when I use czap, but not every time, sometimes there's no error. It still takes a long time to lock on to the channel.
