Hi,
using my DVB-S card I face the following problem: During boot up my dvb driver is loaded and everything seems to be just fine. Afterwards I can't use it because /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 doesn't deliver anything at all. No wonder using xine or vdr doesn't work. Doing just a reboot everything just works like a charm (I use this "feature" for over three month now and it is always acting like this....)
Here's my setup: I'm using kernel 2.6.2rc (now - before I used various 2.6.0pre kernels, 2.6.0 and 2.6.1) and the included dvb drivers. Loading the modules produces the following dmesg (on first startup and on reboot):
saa7146: register extension 'budget_ci dvb'. PCI: Enabling device 0000:00:0c.0 (0004 -> 0006) saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem e191f000 (revision 1, irq 11) (0x13c2,0x100f). DVB: registering new adapter (TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-CI PCI). TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-CI PCI adapter 0 has MAC addr = 00:d0:5c:20:d8:42 probe_tuner: try to attach to TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-CI PCI drivers/media/dvb/frontends/stv0299.c: setup for tuner SU1278/SH DVB: registering frontend 0:0 (STV0299/TSA5059/SL1935 based)...
lspci reports my card as: 00:0c.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01) Subsystem: Technotrend Systemtechnik GmbH: Unknown device 100f Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11 Memory at d4000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512]
It is a Hauppauge Nova-S (budget) card.
Could anyone point me to the underlying problem? I could also accept some kind of reinitialization (instead of a reboot).
Kind regards,
Stephan
Hallo Stephan,
seit ich mich einen neuen Rechner erlaubt habe treffe ich das gleiche Problem.
Statt Neustarten mache ich "unload and load" von DVB-Treibern, manchmal sogar mehrmals. Ich bin an der Idee gekommen, dass die Ursache die meine Kombination von Hardware und Kernel ist. Sie ist:
- i845Gx(VGA-onboard) - LAN onboard - SOUND onboard - AMI-BIOS (MSI-MB) - P IV 2.4GHz, FSB533
- Kernel 2.4.22, 2.4.24 - DVB-drivers - die letzte von www.linuxtv.org - OS - SuSE Linux 8.2
Es ist etwas bestimmt mit Linux verbindet(Kernel oder DVB-driver), weil mit W$N alles l�uft problemlos.
Um eine laufende Kombination zu entdecken, habe ich alle m�gliche BIOS-Einstellungskombinationen ausprobiert, bis jetzt ohne Erfolg.
Was f�r ein Rechner hast du?
Mit freundlichen Gr��en: Ivan
Hi,
I have the same problem with a Satelco Budget card as second card, but it uses also the stv0299 driver. Only a reboot helps. I'm using Kernel 2.6.2-rc1 with the latest dvb-kernel from cvs. Is there a way to show the registers of the card after initialization?
Best regards Reiner Wenke
