Hi, I also got the "saa7146_i2c_writeout: timed out waiting for end of xfer", but on a FF card (TT 1.5), and mixed with av7110_wait_msgstate: timeout waiting for MSGSTATE 0040 and after a while __av7110_send_fw_cmd: timeout waiting on busy MSG QUEUE dvb-ttpci: av7110_send_fw_cmd(): av7110_send_fw_cmd error -110 dvb-ttpci: av7110_fw_cmd error -110 Sometimes it works for hours, and only then it starts doing that. Now I changed the line suggested by Oliver Endriss for the budget-av: --- linux/drivers/media/dvb/ttpci/av7110.c~ 2007-03-15 18:39:10.000000000 +0100 +++ linux/drivers/media/dvb/ttpci/av7110.c 2007-03-16 19:49:25.010273088 +0100 @@ -2828,7 +2828,7 @@ static struct saa7146_extension av7110_extension = { .name = "dvb", - .flags = SAA7146_USE_I2C_IRQ, + .flags = SAA7146_I2C_SHORT_DELAY, .module = THIS_MODULE, .pci_tbl = &pci_tbl[0], It has been working now for 7 hours (with recording and watching, and a lot of other activity). My graphics card is on the same interrupt as the ttpci, could that be a cause of that IRQ problem?
