mchehab: if you have time, I would be greatful if you could try this patch on the nuc please. https://git.linuxtv.org/syoung/media_tree.git/commit/?h=rc-close&id=0b41a64fe4f03460b16e2d3d973017cf9cc2a056 syoung: not sure about v4.19 mainline that's my test machine, I usually run -rc kernels there the bug was not happening with 4.19-rc1 + media that happens when the device is rebooting I'll do a test with 0b41a64fe4f03460b16e2d3d973017cf9cc2a056 yeah, that seems to fix it Btw, I'm getting those messages too: [ 9.746286] synth uevent: /devices/pnp0/00:01/rc/rc0/input4: failed to send uevent [ 9.746293] input input4: uevent: failed to send synthetic uevent (no idea what they mean) hmm... apparently, IR is not working (IR not working seems unrelated - I did a firmware upgrade on that machine too)
