Hello Pete,

As the original author of this driver, I was wondering if you have any ideas
on tracking down the kernel panic that sometimes occurs in this driver when
starting up from cold. Several people have reported similar problems.
I'd like to point out again that I'm not the original author of the av7110 driver, only of the saa7146 parts.

So, anything related to bugs with the av7110 driver was most likely not "produced" by me.

Now that I own a DVB card myself, I'll of course debug the av7110 driver as best as I can -- thanks for your feedback.

From the feedback that came so far, it's perhaps best not to trust the values read from the saa7146 video dma pointers and add some additional logic to prevent the oops and save some more informations instead.

Regards
Pete Martin
I added it to the TODO list, thanks for your patience.

CU
Michael.
