[linux-dvb] Using new driver with DVB-T

[davep <davep@cyw.uklinux.net>]

RedHat Linux 7.3, stock RedHat 2.4.18 kernel, Athlon 650MHz CPU.

After using the old driver software with my Hauppauge DVB-T card for some 
months I decided it was time to investigate the "NEWSTRUCT" driver (now the 
default of course).

I downloaded the driver and dvbtools from CVS today and built them without 
problems. When doing a 'make insmod' to load the drivers I get the following 
in /var/log/messages:

Oct 26 18:46:56 sodom kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00
Oct 26 18:46:56 sodom kernel: dvb_register_adapter: registering new adapter 
(TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-T  PCI).
Oct 26 18:46:56 sodom kernel: AMD756: dev 1131:7146, router pirq : 1 get irq 
:  5
Oct 26 18:46:56 sodom kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:08.0
Oct 26 18:46:56 sodom kernel: saa7146_core.o: : bus:0, rev:1, mem:0xd1ecdc00.
Oct 26 18:46:58 sodom kernel: dvb_frontend_init: initialising frontend 0:0 
(Grundig 29504-401)...

At this point the system CPU utilisation goes to 50% and the machine becomes 
very sluggish. A reboot is the only way to fix it.

Since I don't have a Grundig frontend (or have I?) I tried hacking the 
makefiles to exclude this module, but although the CPU problem disappears 
dvbtune cannot find the card - I get

FD 3: fd_dvr DEMUX DEVICE: : No such file or directory

Grateful for any suggestions.

Dave Pickles
