I need some guidance on error messages..
The machine receives these messages in the systemlog (dmesg)
[ 7673.168026] dvb-ttpci: StartHWFilter error buf 0b07 0010 07e9 b96a
ret 0 handle ffff
[ 7674.192025] dvb-ttpci: StartHWFilter error buf 0b07 0010 07ee b96a
ret 0 handle ffff
[ 7675.224025] dvb-ttpci: StartHWFilter error buf 0b07 0010 07f3 b96a
ret 0 handle ffff
[ 7676.248128] dvb-ttpci: StartHWFilter error buf 0b07 0010 07f9 b96a
ret 0 handle ffff
[ 7677.280026] dvb-ttpci: StartHWFilter error buf 0b07 0010 07fd b96a
ret 0 handle ffff
[ 7678.312025] dvb-ttpci: StartHWFilter error buf 0b07 0010 0803 b96a
ret 0 handle ffff
These start as soon as I view or record a channel, and obviously fills
up the log quickly.
I believe the code that generates these messages is at the bottom of
this message (part of av7110.c). This code was introduced in 2005 to
improve error reporting.
Currently I run today's v4l-dvb (using a hg update), and kernel
2.6.31-16. (Ubuntu), however the issue occurred in older combinations as
well (over a year ago), so it is not introduced by the last kernels or
DVB driverset.
The message seems to be triggered by the variable "handle" being larger
then 32. On my system it always reports ffff.
Am I looking at faulty hardware, or can I resolve this issue more
elegant than just disabling the fault report?
(keep in mind that I do not have a programming/coding background)
