I tried a couple different vanilla kernels from kernel.org, but so far
no improvement. Here the kernels installed:
kernel 2.6.30.4: Could not boot the machine with this one (got some
kernel panic message)
kernel 2.6.27.29: Could not boot the machine with this one either.
kernel 2.6.29.6: Machine works fine but still have the same issue
(audio cut after some time while capturing from 29xxx) . This is the
same issue as running the F11 kernel 2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i686.PAE
Here the procedure used to compile the vanilla kernels (in case I'm
doing something wrong):
1- copied the F11 kernel config to my kernel source dir:
# cp /boot/config-2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i686.PAE .config
2- Run
# make oldconfig
This asked a couple of questions depending which kernel was
compiling. I choose all defaults.
3- Compile and install the kernel:
# make
# make modules_install
# make install
Thanks

Not being an F11 user here there's not much I can do directly here
unless the problem is not specific to F11. But this isn't the first
report of problems running the pvrusb2 driver under Fedora 11. I
actually posted here to this list 6 days ago asking for responses from
people using Fedora 11 (both good AND bad) because of another incident
that was reported to me (off the list). In that person's case the
problem(s) went away when he switched to a vanilla kernel from
kernel.org (still using Fedora 11). However he's using a Gotview device
with the pvrusb2 driver and the F11-supplied kernel simply couldn't
operate the device at all (no video, no audio, just dead). It didn't
matter which pvrusb2 driver version he was using - so long as he tried
to run it with the F11-supplied kernel he got nothing but trouble.
Given the above, I'd be curious to know if you could keep the F11
installation intact but build a recent (suggest 2.6.27.x) kernel from
kernel.org and see if things work a lot better.

Thanks JE. I been dealing with this issue for a couple of weeks now, and will
go to Fedora 10 if none of the suggestions work. Now that you mention that F10
has no problems, I was thinking if the new ext4 filesystem on F11 has
something to do with all these issues.
Thanks

I had several unexplained errors when using pvrusb2 with Fedora 11.
Mike Isely assisted me in debugging to the point that it was determined by
me (not by Mike, he did not express an opinion) that it was some strange
problem with the version of the gcc compiler, udev package or possibly one
of the binary library objects with Fedora 11. Using F11 and AMD or Intel, I
could not get the driver to work. Also, turning on debugging flag bits
caused it to crash the kernel requiring a machine reboot. Mike could not
duplicate my problems.
After much "try this and then trying that" to no avail, I downgraded to
Fedora 10 from Fedora 11 with a complete hard drive reformat.
After that, no problems with pvrusb2 or mythtv. My machine is still at F10
for this reason. I have several other F11 machines that don't use pvrusb2
and they are running fine. I have stopped upgrading from F10 to F11 for a
period of time while any compiler issues are shaken out over time.
Will be happy to answer detailed questions off list. YMMV.

Hi List,
This is my first post, and want to thank for your great job on this
driver.
I've been using two pvrusb2 for a couple of years now with Mythtv. I
recently reinstalled my Mythtv backend with Fedora 11 (from Fedeora 6) and
started experiencing this audio issue. I can capture video and audio, but
after sometime (it maybe be seconds or minutes) the audio stops recording.
To discard mythtv, I tried "cat /dev/video0 > foo.mpg" and the file
experience the same issue. Also using "mplayer /dev/video0" have the same
problem.
I have a 24xxx and a 29xxx card. This problem only happens with the
29xxx
card.
I've been looking around for some logs or debug info but could not find
any. When there is no audio, I checked the mute and volume control
(/sys/class/pvrusb2/sn-6552697/) and they are fine. Also tried the
standalone version of the driver (pvrusb2-mci-20090626) and the kernel
that
comes with Fedora 11 (Linux 2.6.29.6_ale) but no luck.
Any help is greatly appreciate.
Thanks
Alejandro
