Once upon a time Andreas Gebel shaped the electrons to say...

What does lsmod say?
Which I2C version do you use?

>There is no error message. 

Did you look in _all_ log files under /var/log ?
(I don't now syslog.conf of suse, but debian records in
several logfiles and the is no file with all messages, not a good idea)
Do you have a vga console attached?
Can you change the consoles? (alt-Fx)
Does the network still work?
Do lirc still work?

BIOS setting "PlugNPlay aware OS" ?

I too have problems with Kernels > 2.4.8 nd the second card 
and have meanwhile disabled the second card. 
Else the system would freeze and oops while recording 
off the second card. (loading is OK)
Too i can't record the "Colourbar"-channel with the second card.
The first card works flawlessly (except some artefacts and a/v async..).
Moving the disk and cards to an other (slower) MoBo
did help a lot. So i assume that something in dvb* has a problem
with faster CPUs/faster RAMs.
