[vdr] SV: Re: Strange Kernel Error

["Mattias Viberg" <c01mvg@cs.umu.se>]

I can't see the processname of the application that fails in the log,
but since it only seems to affect vdr and the dvb-drivers i guess it's
dvb-related. I'll try to use another dvb-card and se if the error
remains.

Thanks/Mattias
