[linux-dvb] Re: Using dvb-kernel and bttv 0.9.x in parallel on 2.4 (Re: Re: overlay-problem -> pci-latency)

[Guido Fiala <gfiala@s.netic.de>]

Hello Michael,

phew - now after 42 hours of hacking i'am online again to read your answer...i 
felt like Odysseus ;-)

I upgraded to 2.6 in meantime, got dvb-1.1.0 working but also i got already 
some oopses in saa7146, can send you the trace if that brings something.

After such an oops (which usually originates using kvdr) the modules can't be 
unloaded anymore and the screen stays black. I need to reboot completly :-((

Over all stability seems not so good as before :-(

During my tries with the 2.4 kernel i managed to render the v4l-subsystem 
completly useless and that's why i went to 2.6 now.

The v4l is now working smooth again, and after i figured out that the 
alsa-snd-bt87x module does not work as a replacement for btaudio i got mp1e 
also working.

BTW - i wonder why i now need to load dvb-core, dvb-ttpci, saa7146, saa7146_vv 
and ves1x93, with dvb-1.0.1 i had only loaded dvb-core, dvb-ttpci and 
alps_bsrv2 - do i load the wrong modules?

Easy??? ;-))

Does that mean i should download the cvs-version of dvb again?

Many thanks for your help so far!
