That sounds great.  Let me know if/how I can help in any way.

My system stops working at least once a day.  Does anyone have any 
suggestions to try? latest module builds? other firmwares?  I notice 
there are several up on the http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/ 
site, would any of those work better?


Is there a better card to use?  the HVR-2200 and saa7164 are effectively 
unusable at this point.


Thanks,

Basically, it starts working but after a while I get an "Event timed out" message and several i2c 
errors and VDR shuts down (some hours after reboot). As the web page mentions, I tested downgrading the PCIe 
bandwith from GEN2 to GEN1 without success. But after playing with different BIOS options, what did the trick 
was limiting the power-saving C-states. If I select "C7" as the maximum C-state, the card fails as 
described. After limiting the maximum C-state to "C6", it has been working for a whole weekend.

Good feedback on the C7 vs C6 power state, thanks.

You are welcome, Steve. Happy to be helpful.

I will be at your disposal for testing purposes, if you need.

Some additional input:

I made similar changes to the bios of my ASRock H87M Pro4.  There were 
multiple settings for CPU C state support.  I set the C7 state to 
disabled and forced selected C6 in the State support dropdown to further 
force it to C6.


Within 3 hours the dmesg was filling up with the no free sequences errors.

I hadn't changed the PCI Express Configuration to Gen1 because per the 
http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/n54l_all_in_one page it didn't appear to 
help reliably.  I've made that change now. I'll report to see if that 
improves anything, perhaps both changes have to be made in conjunction.



Regards,

David

I simply wanted to add the I have also started seeing this error recently so
Kyle is not alone in this.

I have tried combinations of all of the firmwares on the steventoth site in
conjunction with the saa7164 driver in the vanilla 3.11.10-25 kernel.

It requires a reboot to effectively reload the firmware.

Regards,
