[vdr] Card revision 1.3 and 2.1 not interchangeble?



Hi everybody,

I have a vdr system with a single card revision 1.3, and it works nearly
perfect:

- kernel 2.4.4 (suse 7.2)
- siemens_dvb-0.9.4
- lirc-0.6.4 with simple receiver connected to serial port
- VDR 1.0.0pre3
- MP3 extension 0.37
- mad-0.14.2b

If i just replace the card with a new Hauppauge WinTV nexus-s (revision
2.1), the system is not usable any more. Just starting the dvb-driver seem
to be ok (I get a picture and audio from n-tv, and the fading convergence
copyright OSD), but on VDR startup i've seen two possible effects:

1.) VDR switch to the last seen program, but do not show any OSD. The
message log shows nothing unusual, but I can't control VDR via infrared. No
OSD, no respond to Up/Down.

2.) I get a black screen on television, and the message log says:
"VDR kernel: dvb0: ARM crashed!"
I had to restart the driver in that case.

Just replacing the card with the original one (revision 1.3) solves this
problem! (no software was re-configured or something).

Do I have to tell VDR which card revision I use?
Any idea, what's happening here?
Any chance to get the 2.1 card running? (or better: get the 1.3 AND 2.1
running together in the same system? ;-)

thanks,
Christian
