pt1 is here http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2009-August/032334.html I have a Lifeview Hybrid Pci card and since around August 2009 the driver doesn't work in 64bit linux but works only in 32bit linux. Now, I am using vanilla 2.6.31.5 source with latest mercurial v4b-dvb snapshot. I tried today again in my 64bit system to see if the driver works but again I discovered that it just doesn't work. I am using the same firmware on both 32 and 64bit linux installations and in 32bits I have no problem, everything works. I am choosing the same options in both 32 and 64bit installations. The error that I get is in the attachement. It complains about firmware but the firmware is exactly the same with my 32bit installation where things work. What's wrong with the saa7134 driver ?
