Hello, I am running a Debian 2.6.32-Kernel (which by the way contains a lot of unresolved symbols in many dvb modules). As this kernel does not support my WinTV Nova-T USB-Stick, I downloaded the latest sources via the web interface from linuxtv.org, compiled the sources and installed the resulting modules.
When I now connect the USB stick, the DVB modules are loaded correctly, but when I start an application to watch TV, I get a Kernel Oops. These lines from my kern.log show the kernel actions when connecting the device: Sep 8 19:51:16 superstar kernel: [ 3480.084012] usb 2-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 Sep 8 19:51:16 superstar kernel: [ 3480.217755] usb 2-5: New USB device found, idVendor=2040, idProduct=7050 Sep 8 19:51:16 superstar kernel: [ 3480.217758] usb 2-5: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Sep 8 19:51:16 superstar kernel: [ 3480.217760] usb 2-5: Product: Nova-T Stick Sep 8 19:51:16 superstar kernel: [ 3480.217761] usb 2-5: Manufacturer: Hauppauge Sep 8 19:51:16 superstar kernel: [ 3480.217762] usb 2-5: SerialNumber: 0000000000 Sep 8 19:51:16 superstar kernel: [ 3480.217849] usb 2-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Sep 8 19:51:16 superstar kernel: [ 3480.332785] dib0700: loaded with support for 14 different device-types Sep 8 19:51:16 superstar kernel: [ 3480.333846] dvb-usb: found a 'Hauppauge Nova-T Stick' in cold state, will try to load a firmware Sep 8 19:51:16 superstar kernel: [ 3480.333851] usb 2-5: firmware: requesting dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw Sep 8 19:51:16 superstar kernel: [ 3480.439083] dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw' Sep 8 19:51:17 superstar kernel: [ 3480.640502] dib0700: firmware started successfully.
