Hi there, "DVB works fine with 2.6" is a complicated affirmation... is like saying that "IP works on 2.6". Sure it does! However that doesn't say much about individual net card support. As far as I understood, Gerd tried a budget card and as it looks by your trace, your problem is not on the "dvb code" but on your specific card driver (nexus premium card). I cannot ask you again to do kernel debug to find out where the memory pointers got bezerk. You already told me you were not keen on that. So, the only thing I can ask you is to help me in reducing your problem to the smallest expression! The av7110 module differs considerably in compilation from a 2.4 and 2.6 kernel. Knowing that I have a 64bit (although not amd) system with a card like yours running 100% in 2.4, what looks like being the option to get it running with less risk? It is my experience that one finds better problem origin by going from a "works" situation to a "not working anymore" situation. The reverse, while possible, without the debugging option in hand, will very easily become "shooting ducks". This does not mean I (we) will not try to help you if you keep with 2.6! It would make my life easier... but I think we already exchanged more mails about the validity of the test in 2.4 than about the problem itself ;-) ... Cheers, PJ PS: I will soon try 2.6 kernel again... but last time I checked, it did not even compiled straight on alpha :-( -----Original Message----- From: linux-dvb-bounce@linuxtv.org [mailto:linux-dvb-bounce@linuxtv.org] On Behalf Of Max Nickel Sent: quinta-feira, 19 de Fevereiro de 2004 13:13 To: Pedro Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira Cc: linux-dvb@linuxtv.org Subject: [linux-dvb] Re: AMD64 and DVB Sorry that i'm answering that late, but i was bit busy with university the last days. Well i can try to check it out with 2.4 Series and dvb-1.1.0 but i don't know if all my hardware works so well with 2.4. Second, as Gerd said, DVB works fine with 2.6 and isnt dvb-1.1.0 in kernel 2.6.3 ? Anyway as i compiled 2.6.3 today i noticed a warning that i missed so far in saa7146_hlp.c: drivers/media/common/saa7146_hlp.c: In Funktion »saa7146_set_position«: drivers/media/common/saa7146_hlp.c:569: Warnung: cast from pointer to integer of different size Might this cause my problems perhaps ? (Comment above the function says it calculates some memory offsets) so long /max Am Mo, den 16.02.2004 schrieb Pedro Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira um 11:10: > It was already made clear that all the problems this college is facing are > located on av7110 module.
