Hi there,

I tried linux-2.6.31.5 and tuning still does not work:
tuning to 738000000 Hz
video pid 0x0131, audio pid 0x0132
status 00 | signal 0000 | snr 0000 | ber 001fffff | unc 0000ffff |
status 00 | signal 0000 | snr 0000 | ber 001fffff | unc 0000ffff |
status 00 | signal 0000 | snr 0000 | ber 001fffff | unc 0000ffff |
status 04 | signal 0000 | snr 0000 | ber 001fffff | unc 0000ffff |

With some changes for the following file it works again:

Doing it is reverting a fix which avoids that uncontrolled i2c-access from
userspace is destroying the USB-eeprom.

I understand that this is breaking the tuning for your board. I'm just not
understanding why.

If you have some time to debug this issue, could you please try the
following:

One of the devices for your board is trying to do an I2c access which is
falling into the last 'else'-branch - can you add a printk to find out
which one it is? The access must be wrongly constructed and must be fixed
in that driver.

thanks,

PS: if you don't have time to do it, please tell so.

I do not understand exactly. printk what? Could you please give me a
complete piece of code with the printk command? Would be great!

My printk-tries ends up in an "Oops".

There is a
	} else
		break;

sequence in dibusb_i2c_xfer

instead of break, please add something like

printk(KERN_ERR "----- hello stupid I2C access ----\n");

recompile and load the new module, then check whether the line is appearing in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog when you tune the board.

If this is the case, try to identify which device is issuing the access by printing the i2c-address of struct i2c_msg.

HTH,
