[mpeg2] Re: KFir and kernel 2.4.19 / 2.4.20

[Bram Stolk <bram@sara.nl>]

Richard,

I noticed the same thing.
I removed the busy field like you did for 2.4.19
(I've updated cvs as well)

The kfir card works fine for me under 2.4.19

Anything else you changed since 2.4.18?
Maybe SMP/non-SMP?
Maybe a different PCI slot for your kfir?
