Hi, I have successfully been running Ubuntu 9.10 on an old Pentium4 test-box. The machine has two PCI cards, both of which worked with stock 9.10 and with a slightly upgraded kernel (2.6.31-14-generic-pae and 2.6.31-15-generic-pae). These cards, have, in the past also worked on Ubuntu 6.10 so have been supported for a long time. The output on the 2.6.31-15-generic-pae gives:

I am using the standard build tools (e.g. gcc (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu8) 4.4.1). hg identify gives: e0cd9a337600 tip and there are no available updates. Assuming we can fix this problem and my minor driver addition actually works then I will submit patches to support the variant of the USB tuner I wish to get functioning. Hopefully this is something that people with far more knowledge and skill in this area than myself can resolve. Thanks in advance.
