Hi, here is a link to a patch which breaks backwards compatibility for a teletext software called alevt-dvb. http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxtv-commits@xxxxxxxxxxx/msg04638.html The kernel patch was introduced with kernel 2.6.32-rc1. It was Signed-off-by Brandon Philips, Mauro Carvalho Chehab and its author, Andreas Oberritter. Previous help calls, not only on this list, have been ignored for reasons that I do not know. Even distro maintainers have given up and removed the DVB implementation of alevt from their distro list. Is that really what things are up to? To pull through an API update by kernel patch, but simply dive off with the usual "Sorry, but I don't have no time" when objections or problems arise? What the hell is going on in those peoples' minds? It seems to me that the following disclaimer is worth nothing: "If anyone has any objections, please let us know by sending a message to: Linux Media Mailing List <linux-me...@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>" Volunteers welcome! Who please consacres some time and DVB competence to give the appropriate hints please? Regards CS P. S.: This is how the kernel crash looks like: brian:~# alevt alevt: SDT: service_id 0xcf24 not in PAT sid:pmtpid:ttpid:type:provider:name:language:texttype:magazine:page 28006:100:130:1:ZDFvision:ZDF:lang=deu:type=1:magazine=1:page= 0 28011:600:630:1:ZDFvision:ZDFinfokanal:lang=deu:type=1:magazine=1:page= 0 28014:650:630:1:ZDFvision:zdf_neo:lang=deu:type=1:magazine=1:page= 0 28016:1100:630:1:ZDFvision:ZDFtheaterkanal:lang=deu:type=1:magazine=1:page= 0 28007:200:230:1:ZDFvision:3sat:lang=deu:type=1:magazine=1:page= 0 28008:300:330:1:ZDFvision:KiKa:lang=deu:type=1:magazine=1:page= 0 28017:411:8191:2:ZDFvision:DRadio Wissen:lang=:type=0:magazine=0:page= 0 28012:700:8191:2:ZDFvision:DKULTUR:lang=:type=0:magazine=0:page= 0 28013:800:8191:2:ZDFvision:DLF:lang=:type=0:magazine=0:page= 0 Using: Service ID = 28006 ; PMT PID = 100 ; TXT PID = 130 ; Service type = 1 ; Provider Name = ZDFvision ; Service name = ZDF ; language = deu ; Text type = 1 ; Text Magazine = 1 ; Text page = 0 alevt: ioctl: DMX_SET_PES_FILTER Invalid argument (22) Getötet brian:~# Message from syslogd@brian at Jan 31 19:52:33 ... kernel:[ 116.563487] Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Message from syslogd@brian at Jan 31 19:52:33 ... kernel:[ 116.563492] last sysfs file: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-0:1.0/uevent Message from syslogd@brian at Jan 31 19:52:33 ... kernel:[ 116.563589] Process alevt (pid: 1780, ti=e7934000 task=e7915be0 task.ti=e7934000) Message from syslogd@brian at Jan 31 19:52:33 ... kernel:[ 116.563592] Stack: Message from syslogd@brian at Jan 31 19:52:33 ... kernel:[ 116.563622] Call Trace: Message from syslogd@brian at Jan 31 19:52:33 ... kernel:[ 116.563650] Code: f2 da 4c c8 8d 56 78 89 54 24 04 89 d0 e8 e4 da 4c c8 89 f0 e8 31 ff ff ff 83 7e 4c 01 76 73 83 7e 48 02 75 49 8b 46 04 8d 48 f8 <8b> 41 08 8d 58 f8 8d 7e 04 eb 28 8b 41 08 8b 51 0c 89 50 04 89 Message from syslogd@brian at Jan 31 19:52:33 ... kernel:[ 116.563697] EIP: [<f8cec1b2>] dvb_demux_release+0x43/0x183 [dvb_core] SS:ESP 0068:e7935f58 Message from syslogd@brian at Jan 31 19:52:33 ... kernel:[ 116.563706] CR2: 0000000000000000 PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THIS MAIL! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
