[linux-dvb] Re: UPDATE: Pinnacle PCTV Sat driver (experimental) updated

[Lars Täuber <taeuber@bbaw.de>]

Hallo Peter,

thanks for your driver work. I hope i get it working some day.
I bought such a card and have problems with it.

first i want to tell you what i did:

- the card was never initialized in an windows driver envyroment!
   (i know some analog tv-cards [bttv] that has to play with windows
    one time and then they worked with linux too)
- i have a smp kernel on a dual celeron 400
   (i booted with maxcpus=1 and had the same result)
- there is a first analog bt878 card on a different interrupt
   (i replaced this card and had the same problem)
- the pctv shares an interrupt with a promise ide card
- i don't have a diseq capable lnb switch but a normal one for 22kHz
- the kernel locks totally (no ping, no telnet, only reset works)

here is the last output on the terminal i typed in from a screen photo

thanks anyway and good luck
