How about the VDSB problem with kernel 2.6.13? That applies to the SuSE kernel as well, right?
I'm not familiar with the background of that problem but recording worked fine on 10.0 so far.
Ludwig, see the thread "VDSB with Kernel 2.6.13" by Stephan Schreiber. Stephan wrote:
I have got one FF card plus 3 Nova CI Budget Cards, usually using the latest driver, firmware and VDR versions. After having upgraded to Kernel 2.6.13, I get the dreaded "Video Data Stream Broken" error as soon as a recording starts.

When switching back to 2.6.12 everything works fine again (same driver, same firmware)...no problem recording from 4 different transponders...

It simply works with Kernel 2.6.12, but doesn't with 2.6.13. I tried the built-in drivers as well as CVS from 28.08.05 and 19.09.05 respectively. Always same result. 2.6.12 -> no problem, 2.6.13 -> VDSB :-/

Okay, here's the conclusion of my tests ("dead" Nova-CI budget cards):
Gentoo-Kernel 2.6.13-r2, current CVS driver -> Video Data Stream Broken Gentoo-Kernel 2.6.12-r9, current CVS driver -> works a charm Vanilla Kernel 2.6.14-rc1, built-in driver -> Video Data Stream Broken Vanilla Kernel 2.6.12.6, current CVS backpatched -> works a charm
Same goes for older CVS drivers. All Kernels were configured using basically the same 2.6.12 .config and defaults otherwise.
Definitely(?) a Kernel issue. Where to report such a thing? (I most probably won't want to be stuck with 2.6.12 forever...)
I have a very similar configuration to Stephan's, so I guess I should not upgrade to SuSE 10.0, right?
