I saw similar i2c error messages back when we were trying to add support for the card (I never posted on the list about it because that happened when I was fiddling with the code). I do not remember the specifics, but it went away later on as the code matured. It might have something to do with multiple instances of the driver being attached to the xc5000, but we certainly cannot rule out the possibility of a bad unit. > > It goes without saying, try to bring up the baord on a supported windows > platform to verify it... or perhaps take it to a neighbours house a > wreck his xp install ;) > > If you get to the point of it working in windows but not on Linux then > we'll be able to make progress. > > - Steve > -- Chaogui Zhang _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
