If you haven't already, I'd suggest filing a bug upstream. We pretty much just track upstream's v4l/dvb code. See: http://linuxtv.org/news.php?entry=2006-11-24-0.mchehab (This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora! The issue still exists and I'm running Fedora 8. I think the issue is better defined here in the mythtv users group. Could possibly be a fix up stream.

When I experienced this problem, I changed my cx88 modules to the ones from the linuxtv.org mercurial repository. Changing to the newer modules fixed my "card stops working" issues along with a number of annoying syslog messages from the cx88 modules. -- Patrick Ouellette pat at flying-gecko.net kb8pym at arrl.net Amateur Radio: KB8PYM Living life to a Jimmy Buffett soundtrack "Crank the amp to 11, this needs more cowbell - and a llama wouldn't hurt either" I found it was easiest to just pull the v4l-dvb repository. To start: hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb To update later: cd v4l-dvb hg pull -u http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb Doesn't take too long to build, but you have to have the running kernel sources available (IIRC). Complete instructions are available at: http://www.linuxtv.org/repo/ Fedora apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We're sorry it's taken so long for your bug to be properly triaged and acted on. We appreciate the time you took to report this issue and want to make sure no important bugs slip through the cracks. If you're currently running a version of Fedora Core between 1 and 6, please note that Fedora no longer maintains these releases. We strongly encourage you to upgrade to a current Fedora release. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained and closing them. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle/EOL If this bug is still open against Fedora Core 1 through 6, thirty days from now, it will be closed 'WONTFIX'. If you can reporduce this bug in the latest Fedora version, please change to the respective version. If you are unable to do this, please add a comment to this bug requesting the change. Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we are following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. And if you'd like to join the bug triage team to help make things better, check out http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Seems to be fixed now running Fedora 8 kernel 2.6.24.4-64 x86_64. Must be a fairly recent fix as I have been doing periodic checks. After using the HD-3000 tuner card for an extended period of time I find that the bug still exists. It just takes a lot longer for it to appear. Linux douglas 2.6.25.6-27.fc8 #1 SMP Fri Jun 13 16:17:54 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux As before it only seems to effect the analog side of the card and it appears in conjunction with an attempt to reload the firmware. Do not know if this is worth persuing as the card is no longer sold. But on the other hand two of the three tuner cards I have no longer work right after about mid Fedora period of updates. Changing product version to Fedora 8, where bug apparently exists. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
