Hi,
I used to run a vdr 1.2.6 based on Debian with Kernel 2.6.11.12 and a full-featured DVB-C card. That combination worked very stable and I had no complaints at all.
Recently I added a Nova-T (new Conexant-based revision) DVB-T and upgraded to 2.6.12 which contains the new drivers to support it.
Since then, my vdr segfaults every few minutes http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-June/002905.html
The friendly folks at the DVB mailing list seen to think that it's not the card, another user reports it is stable for him http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-June/002903.html
I tried as suggested to use vdr without runvdr http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-June/002908.html and it showed me the segfaults. I also tried to run it without the plugins, same problem.
The card itself seems to work. I used the vanilla 2.6.12 kernel and the card was recognized. Before vdr crashes, I can switch channels, watch TV and it receives EPG data from the DVB-T channel, as well.
How can I debug this problem? Is it the card, the kernel, the vdr version, the tv channel it tuned to?
Thanks,
Hanno
