My hard drives have been power cycled more times in the last few days
playing with this than at any time in their history since I have a BIG
ups.
So I think I'm back to 2.6.14.3 for a while. Lemme know if and when
there is something else to test. Right now I'm vacuuming up water in
the basement for the first time in years, it rained HARD here earlier.
Gene-
There IS something more to test, unless I missed an email from you....
...and it's going to be very hard for people to follow your problem...
Please stick with your original thread to discuss your particular
problem.
Gah, I marked the thread as important, but then it jumped to the v4l
list from lkml and I got lost in the shuffle.
What happens when you install v4l-dvb cvs on top of 2.6.14.y ?
Already did that, blew up as usual, cold boot required.
(Gene's card uses Thomson DDT 7610 - we need to figure out what analog
demod is in play, here.)
Ok, here is an lsmod after doing the modprobe cx88-dvb:

And the log spamming originates and stops according to whether or not
I'm watching tv on it, and continues to do so when booted to 2.6.14.3.
Once up and running, its not very often, but hundreds of lines of it
during the startup & a few during the shutdown (of tvtime)
Interesting to me is that I was under the impression that the nxt200x
module was the tuner driver, but its not anyplace in the list whether I
smunch it with the grep or not.
nxt200x is a dvb frontend driver -- it is NOT a tuner driver, although
it does work with the tuner, but not on your board (pchdtv 3000).
nxt200x is used by cx88-dvb for the ATi HDTV Wonder, and it's used by
saa7134-dvb for the AVerTVHD A180. The nxt200x was not present in
2.6.14, although it IS present in 2.6.15 and v4l-dvb cvs. We know that
this is not causing your trouble because Kirk Lapray has both the ATI
HDTV Wonder AND pcHDTV 3000 installed on his system, and he says both
are working properly.
However, I don't know if Kirk has tried 2.6.15-rc3 yet...
Kirk, do both cards work properly in both analog AND digital video?
...or were you only talking about digital? Kirk, I could really use
your help in diagnosing the problem that Gene, Perry and Don are talking
about. It looks like something in the 2.6.15 patchsets broke analog
video on the pcHDTV 3000.... Would you kindly be able to test 2.6.15-rc3
on your hardware?
The logs do say its a Thompson 7610 tuner though.

Now, I'm out of pocket till late this evening. I'll check in of course
when I get back. I'd like to get this resolved before I get stuck in
an airplane & shipped to upstate MI for a while. I'm gettin too old
for this back to work crap. But a $1k/week & expenses comes in handy
too. :)
Gene, Perry and Don -
I wish that we could resolve this with a -git bisection test...
Unfortunately, we cannot do it this time, as the VM_RESERVED memory
problems existed throughout 2.6.15 development.
All I can think of doing is telling you to start reverting cx88 / tuner
related v4l patches, but that is very tedious....
Another idea is to try installing cvs again on top of your kernel, but
with each unsuccessful checkout, back out cvs a few days, using the -D
option.....
If you need better details on how to do this, let me know... I'll try to
write something up.
