I upgraded my VDR system from SuSE 9.2 with vanilla kernel 2.6.11 to SuSE 9.3 with SuSE kernel 2.6.11.4-20a-default. In both cases I use the DVB drivers that came with the kernel.

With the SuSE kernel, I am getting "irq 7: nobody cared" quite often (18 times yesterday).

I did two things trying to get rid of this problem:

1) Installed the latest CVS DVB drivers under the SuSE kernel. No effect. Problem kept occuring frequently.

2) Installed vanilla kernel 2.6.11.7 from kernel.org. Problem did not reoccur ever since. (I installed the kernel 22 hours ago. No occurence of the problem since then. With the SuSE kernel the longest gap between two crashes was 4 hours)

So, at least for my configuration, I believe to have prove that

a) the SuSE kernel is faulty. b) the problem lies *not* directly in the SuSE kernel's DVB drivers.
