I looked at the source (I used the code that the Metzler brothers (june 2003) provided (I thought I once switched to dvb-kernel, but ...)). In the working code, there are two relevant GPIO calls (both in av7110_attach) setgpio(av7110, 0, GPIO_OUTHI) ... setgpio(av7110, 0, GPIO_OUTLO) Instead, the current dvb-kernel performs a whole bunch of GPIO setting calls (ie. in ciintf_init), but I disabled one after another and forced the same calls now. But still no luck, the same error appears (stv0299_attach fails). I changed the i2c timeouts (used higher values) in include/media/saa7146.h, but again, no luck. Then I replaced the inline function saa7146_write in both, the working and non-working code with a debug method that prints its calls and gives me the following (for the working code (Metzler brothers)) | notes: mem=0xd09b3c00, adr=0x fc, dat=0xbfff0000 ('software reset') mem=0xd09b3c00, adr=0x 100, dat=0xf8000000 (looks like master reset) mem=0xd09b3c00, adr=0x fc, dat=0x 4000400 mem=0xd09b3c00, adr=0x 10c, dat=0xffffffff mem=0xd09b3c00, adr=0x dc, dat=0x18000000 mem=0xd09b3c00, adr=0x 48, dat=0x1c00101f mem=0xd09b3c00, adr=0x 70, dat=0x80400040 mem=0xd09b3c00, adr=0x 54, dat=0x 0 mem=0xd09b3c00, adr=0x 50, dat=0x 2000000 mem=0xd09b3c00, adr=0x 100, dat=0x 6000600 ... mem=0xd09b3c00, adr=0x e0, dat=0x 40 setgpio(.., 0, GPIO_OUTLO) ...

I have done the same for the non-working current code, but I don't really know how to interpret the results (well, I recognize some parts, like setgpio-calls) :( If someone of you techies could help me, that would be great. I have uploaded three of the saa7146_write logs, if someone wants to look at them.
