Hi, on a crusade to get a setup with one FF Hauppauge WinTV Nexus-S + CAM and two Hauppauge WinTV-HVR400 to behave well (again) with vdr (1.6.0 now), finally I've been arrived at kernel 2.6.34-rc6 and still suffering.. :-( Accessing sky channels via CAM/AlphaCrypt could result in floods of PES packet shortened to xxxx bytes (expected: yyyy bytes) in vdr logs. Once this starts, the display is distorted from heavy pixel junk, and nothing cures this issue other than rebooting. :-(... Is this a known problem? Any idea on how to debug/fix such an problem? The "normal" course of actions in this case is: reloading modules, but neither cx8800 nor dvb_ttpci do unload properly ATM: [ 324.584972] cx8800 0000:07:02.0: PCI INT A disabled [ 324.630743] cx8800 0000:07:01.0: PCI INT A disabled [ 324.630838] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 38352e34 [ 324.643415] IP: [<c036565e>] sysfs_remove_group+0x7e/0xd0 [ 324.654404] *pdpt = 0000000023528001 *pde = 0000000000000000 [ 324.666116] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP [ 324.672707] last sysfs file: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/cache/index2/shared_cpu_map [ 324.688553] Modules linked in: ip6t_LOG ipt_MASQUERADE xt_pkttype xt_TCPMSS xt_tcpudp ipt_LOG xt_limit iptable_nat nf _nat nfsd autofs4 af_packet nfs lockd fscache nfs_acl auth_rpcgss sunrpc cpufreq_conservative cpufreq_userspace cpufreq_ powersave acpi_cpufreq speedstep_lib ip6t_REJECT nf_conntrack_ipv6 ip6table_raw xt_NOTRACK ipt_REJECT xt_physdev xt_stat e iptable_raw iptable_filter ip6table_mangle nf_conntrack_netbios_ns nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_conntrack nf_defrag_ipv4 ip_ta bles ip6table_filter ip6_tables x_tables bridge stp llc fuse aufs loop dm_mod isl6421 cx24116 stv0299 ves1x93 tuner dvb_ ttpci dvb_core snd_hda_intel saa7146_vv snd_hda_codec cx8800(-) cx88xx v4l2_common ir_common videodev i2c_algo_bit snd_h wdep saa7146 v4l1_compat tveeprom snd_pcm ir_core snd_timer videobuf_dma_sg snd tpm_tis iTCO_wdt i2c_i801 videobuf_core tpm btcx_risc pcspkr button sr_mod tpm_bios cdrom iTCO_vendor_support pl2303 usbserial e1000e usbhid ttpci_eeprom soundc ore snd_page_alloc kvm_intel sg kvm ehci_hcd usbcore edd xfs exportfs fan thermal processor thermal_sys sd_mod ata_piix libata arcmsr scsi_mod [last unloaded: cx88_alsa] [ 324.890574] [ 324.893587] Pid: 7320, comm: modprobe Not tainted 2.6.34-rc6-4-pae #1 P7F-E/System Product Name [ 324.911008] EIP: 0060:[<c036565e>] EFLAGS: 00010202 CPU: 4 [ 324.922133] EIP is at sysfs_remove_group+0x7e/0xd0 [ 324.931832] EAX: e6a50e08 EBX: 38352e34 ECX: e7e00000 EDX: 00000000 [ 324.944559] ESI: 00000000 EDI: e641285c EBP: e6a50e08 ESP: e2b9be70 [ 324.957181] DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0033 SS: 0068 [ 324.968084] Process modprobe (pid: 7320, ti=e2b9a000 task=e51b0270 task.ti=e2b9a000) [ 324.983565] Stack: [ 324.987715] 00000286 00000001 e64da9dc e6a50a00 00000286 e6412840 e6889000 00000000 [ 325.003149] <0> e6bb2800 f03ae932 e6412840 e6889000 f03ae044 00000000 faffffff e6c8f180 [ 325.019671] <0> e6bb2800 f04ba5e5 00000000 fa000000 f04b6dd9 01000000 00000000 faffffff [ 325.036573] Call Trace: [ 325.041554] [<f03ae932>] ir_unregister_class+0x32/0x60 [ir_core] [ 325.053888] [<f03ae044>] ir_input_unregister+0x44/0x90 [ir_core] [ 325.066202] [<f04ba5e5>] cx88_ir_fini+0x25/0x50 [cx88xx] [ 325.077213] [<f04b6dd9>] cx88_core_put+0xb9/0x140 [cx88xx] [ 325.088434] [<f04f4156>] cx8800_finidev+0x7e/0x89 [cx8800] [ 325.099765] [<c041e6d6>] pci_device_remove+0x16/0x40 [ 325.110004] [<c04b2eed>] __device_release_driver+0x6d/0xd0 [ 325.121232] [<c04b2fcf>] driver_detach+0x7f/0x90 [ 325.130751] [<c04b1f9a>] bus_remove_driver+0x7a/0x100 [ 325.141196] [<c041e8de>] pci_unregister_driver+0x2e/0x80 [ 325.152163] [<c0278fe9>] sys_delete_module+0x179/0x250 [ 325.162684] [<c0202e4c>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x22 [ 325.172618] [<ffffe424>] 0xffffe424 [ 325.179852] Code: f0 ff 0e 0f 94 c0 84 c0 75 0b 83 c4 14 5b 5e 5f 5d c3 8d 76 00 83 c4 14 89 f0 5b 5e 5f 5d e9 ca e6 ff ff 66 90 31 f6 85 db 74 a3 <8b> 03 85 c0 74 07 f0 ff 03 89 de eb 96 ba 9d 00 00 00 b8 e8 81 [ 325.220532] EIP: [<c036565e>] sysfs_remove_group+0x7e/0xd0 SS:ESP 0068:e2b9be70 [ 325.235367] CR2: 0000000038352e34 [ 325.242044] ---[ end trace ad00d5df5a39e6b6 ]--- This one I was able to work around by blacklisting ir_common and ir_core (this is a server install anyway), but unloading dvb_ttpci results in: [ 64.526813] cx24116_load_firmware: FW version 1.22.82.0 [ 64.526823] cx24116_firmware_ondemand: Firmware upload complete [ 131.523444] cx88/2: unregistering cx8802 driver, type: dvb access: shared [ 131.523451] cx88[0]/2: subsystem: 0070:6906, board: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR4000(Lite) DVB-S/S2 [card=69] [ 131.524048] cx88[1]/2: subsystem: 0070:6906, board: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR4000(Lite) DVB-S/S2 [card=69] [ 131.554953] cx88-mpeg driver manager 0000:07:02.2: PCI INT A disabled [ 131.555024] cx88-mpeg driver manager 0000:07:01.2: PCI INT A disabled [ 143.260583] cx88_audio 0000:07:02.1: PCI INT A disabled [ 143.260670] cx88_audio 0000:07:01.1: PCI INT A disabled [ 171.110862] cx8800 0000:07:02.0: PCI INT A disabled [ 171.156445] cx8800 0000:07:01.0: PCI INT A disabled [ 292.349178] saa7146: unregister extension 'dvb'.
