To add another data-point, I am also getting this error with the same board ... as far as I have been able to test, it's something that was OK in 2.6.27, regressed in 2.6.28 and is still a problem in 2.6.30. Note that this is the rev.1 DViCO lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch) Release: 9.10 uname -a Linux nina 2.6.30-8-generic #9-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 3 15:23:55 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux I get spammed by this console message every 1 second and the board does not operate: [ 375.385180] dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -110 (4/0) I see the same problem with mythbuntu-9.04 (2.6.28) So I put in a new disc and installed Fedora-10 (2.6.27) with the same firmware: /lib/firmware/xc3028-v27.fw ... and it's working fine now. Earlier history: It was working fine on Ubuntu Hardy (it was an earlier kernel (2.6.20??) with the v4l-dvb drivers downloaded with hg and compiled locally). Ubuntu Intrepid was also OK. I also tried powering off, removing the power cable and taking the board out of the machine before re-trying in a different PCI slot - it made no difference. lsusb gives: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0fe9:db78 DVICO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4 (ZL10353+xc2028/xc302 (initialized) Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0fe9:db78 DVICO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4 (ZL10353+xc2028/xc302 (initialized) >From /var/log/messages, it seems to be loading the firmware but then running into problems with writing to the zl10353: Jun 13 15:01:45 nina kernel: [ 26.488234] dvb-usb: found a 'DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4' in warm state.
