I tried the following simple patch:

--- /usr/local/DVB/driver-0.71+kls/dvb.c        Wed Oct  4 08:48:13 2000
+++ DVB/driver/dvb.c    Fri Nov 24 03:53:35 2000

         {
                 ddelay(1);
                 if ((jiffies - start) > HZ) {
-                        printk("outcommand error 1\n");
+                        printk("outcommand error 1, re-initializing ARM.\n");
+                        init_arm(dvb); /* XXX ck - revive after a firmware crash. */
                         return -1;
                 }
         }

But it did not work. 
I do see the "outcommand error 1, re-initializing ARM."
message, but not the messages normally issued by init_arm.

Maybe Ralph can help by fixing it properly (we should never
see the "outcommand error 1" in the first place, right?) or
at least by making my kludge work?

Cheers,

Carsten.
