The dmesg output does not look suspicious at all. It seems as if both cards have been registered successfully. The only thing you can do, (that I can think of right now) was to write to the linux-dvb list and ask the developers there if they have ever tested this particular setup and if it could cause problems.

Actually both cards use budget-ci, the other card just doesn't have the physical connector although it has a place for it in the PCB. The cards look very similar, but newer card has tda10046 and older tda10045 frontend.. Both have saa7146 pci chip. Here's dmesg output, looks ok to me: saa7146: register extension 'budget_ci dvb'. PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device :02:05.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with :00:0d.0 saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem e0974c00 (revision 1, irq 11) (0x13c2,0x1012). saa7146 (0): dma buffer size 192512 DVB: registering new adapter (TT-Budget-T-CI PCI). adapter has MAC addr = 00:d0:5c:04:43:33 input: Budget-CI dvb ir receiver saa7146 (0) as /class/input/input1 budget_ci: CI interface initialised DVB: registering frontend 0 (Philips TDA10046H DVB-T)... dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initialised successfully PCI: Found IRQ 3 for device :02:08.0 saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem e0976800 (revision 1, irq 3) (0x13c2,0x1011). saa7146 (1): dma buffer size 192512 DVB: registering new adapter (TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-T PCI). adapter has MAC addr = 00:d0:5c:22:27:8a input: Budget-CI dvb ir receiver saa7146 (1) as /class/input/input2 DVB: registering frontend 1 (Philips TDA10045H DVB-T)... > Look into /proc/interrupts and see if both cards may be using the same > interrupt. Nope.. 3:64681 XT-PIC saa7146 (1) 11:3565 XT-PIC saa7146 (0), eth0 Adapter 0 is the one that is working, so it doesn't matter that it shares interrupt with eth0. Adapter 1 seems to generate a lot of interrupts for some reason.. > What happens if you append "acpi=off" and/or "noapic" to the kernel? > No difference.. One thing I noticed is that after a reboot, working card always has valid firmware, but non-working card's firmware must always be re-uploaded.. So the firmware gets corrupted somehow? Also I tried to tune channels with "tzap". It "works" for both cards, but the other card never reports FE_HAS_LOCK and "ber" is very high. Looks pretty much the same as if the antenna was unplugged.. (it's not..) :) Perhaps there is some problem having tda10045 and tda10046 in same system? After all, both are handled by the same tda1004x module.. -- Teemu Suikki http://www.z-power.fi ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Can you post a link to picture showing this particular setup? :-P scnr It could be some hardware issue, if there is some conflict with two cards..

Look into /proc/interrupts and see if both cards may be using the same interrupt. What happens if you append "acpi=off" and/or "noapic" to the kernel? Let us know what you found out.

[vdr] Problem with two cards
Hi, I have been using VDR for about two years now, without any big problems. :) Now I built a new system with two cards. One is my old hauppaude nova-t, other is technotrend nova-t with CI.. With only one card installed, both cards work fine. If I install both cards, only one the newer card works! Older card is found by VDR and can tune channels, but there is no picture.. Any ideas? It could be some hardware issue, if there is some conflict with two cards.. But I have tried both cards in all PCI slots, no difference there. :) -- Teemu Suikki http://www.z-power.fi ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
