I switched over to 2.6 (on SuSE 9.1), because I had the remote idea, my 
UPT-errors would vanish with the 1.1.1 driver. It was no real problem to 
install and really, my UPT errors vanished and the VDSB errors took 
over. But while the UPT errors simply required reloading the driver, 
this often doesn't help with the VDSB errors.

I'm willing to help in debugging the problem, but I've no idea, how to 
get into it by myself.

So if there's anybody who could lead me the way, I'm prepared to invest 
my time there instead of switching back. ;-)

BTW: I installed the patch, given by Stefan Meyknecht in the 
vdr-Mailinglist, which leads to a restarting vdr not only with a running 
recording.
