Hi, as the subject says: I'm using 2.6.14-git8 (also happens with -git7) and dvb-kernel head cvs from today. config is: dual p3 SMP/CONFIG_PREEMPT/PREEMPT_BKL/IRQBALANCE, a technotrend dvb-s ff 1.5 and a technotrend budget. firmware for the ff card is the one provided by dvb-kernel. (makelinks has been used to created the links to the kernel tree) the oops happens after dvb-ttpci is loaded. ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:09.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 169 saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem d91b8000 (revision 1, irq 169) (0x13c2,0x0000).
