I've successfully got my Nexus Card and CI module working with vlc for streaming encrypted channels. I've now got the budget version, the Nova-S CI and attempting to get that to work. Sometimes when I start vlc it gets to a certain point and prints the following to /var/log/messages Jul 13 15:43:07 bloodhound kernel: Uhhuh. NMI received. Dazed and confused, but trying to continue Jul 13 15:43:07 bloodhound kernel: You probably have a hardware problem with your RAM chips Jul 13 15:43:07 bloodhound kernel: irq 11: nobody cared!

It just prints this to /var/log/messages at the same time. I've tried removing the CAM and Smart Card and do no get this problem (though obviously it doesn't show encrypted channels), I've also tried different CAMs and get the same result. So It seems to be a problem with the CI I had this working with the Nexus-S card which had a 3.5" CI but this card one has the PCI CI. This is using the drivers that come in 2.6.12 I found another issue similar to mine which had no replies here... http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.dvb/15273 Does anyone have any ideas what the cause of this is and how to stop it? Thanks a lot for your help! Mike
