Thanks for the very interesting technical info!
Unfortunately it did not (yet) solve my problems.

On 2.6.19.2 everything works fine. I have a VIA Epia EN12000 with a duo
of Terratec Cinergy 1200 DVB-T (in use) and a Terratec Cinergy 1200
DVB-S (to be used).
When I boot into 2.6.20 I get a load of the previously posted i2c messages.

I have on this system:

  Installed I2C busses:
    i2c-2       i2c             TerraTec Cinergy 1200 DVB-S
    i2c-1       i2c             Terratec Cinergy 1200 DVB-T
    i2c-0       smbus           SMBus Via Pro adapter at 0500

i2cdump -y  2 0x68 on 2.6.19.2 gives me a dump without errors.
Same for i2cdump -y  1 0x08. (DVB-T card)

In budget-core.c I changed to SAA7146_I2C_BUS_BIT_RATE_480 in
saa7146_i2c_adapter_prepare.
In drivers/media/common/saa7146_i2c.c I also changed
timeout = HZ/100 + 1; /* 10ms */ to
timeout = 20*HZ/100 + 1; /* 200ms? */.

Still I get loads of the messages. Even more than before due to the
increased retries in include/media/saa7146.h. (why are there three
saa7146.h's on my system!?: drivers/media/video/saa7146.h,
include/config/video/saa7146.h and include/media/saa7146.h)

Any idea what to change/try next?
SAA7146_I2C_DELAY?

How can I test the i2c to the cards thoroughly without rebooting?
(iscdump?)


Kind regards,
Udo



BTW: Is the LNBP21 CURRENT LIMIT info also in effect for the Terratec cards?
