[linux-dvb] DVB-S not working after swapping motherboard

[Klaus Schmidinger <Klaus.Schmidinger@cadsoft.de>]

I had a DVB-S card (Siemens rev 1.3) running fine in a Pentium III system
at 866 MHz CPU clock. Due to a hardware failure I had to exchange the
motherboard, so the system is now an AMD Athlon XP 1900+, running at
a clock rate of 1600 MHz (also tested with 1200 MHz, same result).

The problem I'm having is that now the driver gives me an error message when
loading, and there is no picture coming after loading the driver.

Here's what /var/log/messages says:

Feb 15 18:01:14 fox kernel: i2c-core.o: i2c core module

Feb 15 18:01:22 fox kernel: dvb: 1 dvb(s) found!

I guess the lines

Feb 15 18:01:22 fox kernel: wait-for-debi-done maxwait: 500000
Feb 15 18:01:22 fox kernel: dvb: debi test in bootarm() failed: 00000000 != 10325476

are the ones that indicate the error, but I'm afraid I don't know what to do in
order to get around this.

I can rule out a hardware failure of the DVB-S card, because I have replaced it
with another one and got the same error.

I would appreciate any hints about what could be wrong here.
