Sorry, I guess I didn't make that clear. 2.6.22 doesn't work with my HD5000 and neither does latest hg. I don't know the last kernel that does, but I do know that this is the changeset that broke it for me: changeset: 5365:77f63fdfba48 user: Trent Piepho <xyzzy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> date: Tue Feb 27 15:11:11 2007 -0800 summary: dvb: Remove lgh06xf driver If I go back one more from this, it works fine, anything after this, I need to apply my patch. I have tested this on both 2.6.19 and 2.6.22 (that this same changeset causes the issue). So at least in my case, it is localized to this single change and my card works fine using latest hg and my patch on both 2.6.19 and 2.6.22. It also works fine on 2.6.22.0 with my patch applied (not using hg drivers) > > My reasons for asking these questions are decribed below: > > I have been informed that the HD5000 has a problem under 2.6.22.y, > where it will correctly tune the first set of params sent to the > device, but all attempts thereafter do not work.

No my problem doesn't seem to be the same. It is odd though, because my card does not work at all with any drivers since February, and apparently not everyone sees this behavior. > > I did some testing last weekend, and I confirm the same problem under > vanilla 2.6.22.y , and we'll have to do a git bisection test to > discover the cause.

Again, for me running 2.6.22.0 (debian kernel) I can use my card just fine with both latest hg and the kernel supplied as long as I apply my patch. > Although your patch may appear to fix your problem, I suspect that it > is really curing a symptom of the problem, and not the cause. This is possible. I don't know anything at all about i2c. I just tried to reverted the negative consequences of the patch which broke my system. I would be interested in confirmation whether this simple patch works for others who are broken on 2.6.22 (though from what you've said it doesn't sound too likely) By the way, I am only using the card for ATSC broadcasts. i don't have digital cable, and can't test its QCAM support. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
