Latest working kernel version: 2.6.24 Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.26-5 Distribution: Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex x86_64 Hardware Environment: Dell E520 + TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-S PCI Software Environment: Kaffeine Problem Description: DVB card isn't recognized since kernel 2.6.26. Module in use is 'budget' but I get this error message: [ 6519.449423] saa7146 (0): dma buffer size 192512 [ 6519.449423] DVB: registering new adapter (TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-S PCI) [ 6519.512784] adapter has MAC addr = 00:d0:5c:08:fe:c3 [ 6519.600476] budget: A frontend driver was not found for device 1131/7146 subsystem 13c2/1016 Steps to reproduce: Boot up and try to watch TV.
Created attachment 17272 [details] Complete dmesg
Confirmed in 2.6.27-4
Fixed in 2.6.27-6.9 (I think it is rc6)
Should this bug be fixed in the 2.6.27.7 kernel? I've tried it and I don't seem to get my frontend when modprobing "budget". I also do not get quite as verbose an error as is listed here so I'm wondering if there is a slightly different problem going on for me. I only see: kernel: saa7146: register extension 'budget dvb'. When it works correctly (older kernel): kernel: saa7146: register extension 'budget dvb'. kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNK4] enabled at IRQ 11 kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:07.0[A] -> Link [LNK4] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 kernel: saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem e0ade000 (revision 1, irq 11) (0x13c2,0x1004). kernel: saa7146 (0): dma buffer size 192512 kernel: DVB: registering new adapter (TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-C PCI) kernel: adapter has MAC addr = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx kernel: DVB: registering frontend 0 (VLSI VES1820 DVB-C)... I'm not sure if the ACPI stuff is relevant. If you have any more info (e.g. about what commit fixed it?) then I can double check the kernel I'm using to ensure it has the fix. Thanks
I've now tested with 2.6.27.10 in Mandriva and it doesn't work :( Should this fix be in a 2.6.27.10 kernel?
Colin, your issue is a different one. I suspect you have the "snd-aw2" module loaded and believing that your DVB card is an audiowerk soundcard. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/329708 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=122495044028411&w=2 Of course, no patch was ever submitted, even for changing PCI_ANY_ID to 0. I'm submitting one now to ALSA upstream.
