none of this did work :-(((

And even worse, I discovered that this driver is still very buggy, i.e.
when I load the driver (and thus vdr uses it) I get random memory
corruptions, which means databases are corrupted, gcc compiles suddenly
crash and I trigger random kernel bugs (filesystem/ slab corruption/
etc).

I am unfortunately 100% sure that it is caused by the saa7146 driver, as
I have an uptime of over a week now that it is not loaded (but the card
is still in the slot, yeah and I did memory tests for 18 passes -
nothing).

This is with vanilla kernel 2.6.22.6, I wonder whether things could be
better with hg - current?

Anyway I suspect overruns of some buffers, which may even be caused by
firmware bugs... but I have absolutely no idea where to look at. One way
to debug things would be to alloc way too large buffers and then e.g.
zero them and then check whether the expected part is still zero ...

I really hope that you (or someone has an idea...).

Thanks a lot,
Soeren
