Bolek, Thank you for confirming. Although Geoffrey's patch fixes the HD5000, it will break some other devices, instead. Geoffrey's patch did, however, help us to find the actual problem in flexcop-i2c.c The full description of the problem is located in the commit message of the fix: http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/rev/0277da58bf56 This patch has already been merged into Linus' 2.6.23-rc tree, and is queued for the 2.6.22.7 -stable kernel release. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=6175e487e314385e37f06448847e4c46c20edb44 Thanks to Trent Piepho, for providing the flexcop-i2c workaround, Jarod Wilson, who had originally reported this regression and was instrumental in testing the fixes, and Geoffrey Hausheer, whose original workaround patch led us to find the actual cause of the problem.
