What is wrong with the cx18 module (and supporting modules) in the stock 3.4 or 3.3 kernel? FYI, the ^media_build^ is only a partial rebuild of the sources for the latest ^media_tree^ kernel, with some backward compatability patches so things at least compile. No guarantee that things are going to work. If you rebuild and install the ^media_tree^ kernel and all the modules, then you will have the bleeding edge V4L-DVB modules with a vanilla kernel. You will not have any security or valued added patches from Cannonical, but you will have the bleeding edge V4L-DVB modules with their intended kernel and they shouldn't crash. > On reboot, for both kernels, the system would hang.

Take a picture with a digital camera and email direct to me: awalls@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx . If the "Code" bytes in the photo are not readable, please transcribe them by hand (there are only 64 of them) and send them as well. > I thought the issue might have been related to using a newer kernel > than the Ubuntu 12.04 repositories gave me.

During your experimentation blacklist the cx18 driver in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf . That way on reboot, you get to decide when your machine hangs by typing modprobe cx18 manually. > The last good working kernel I have with v4l-dvb drivers is 3.2.0-32. > > > Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Certainly, questions related to media_build should be directed to the Linux media list: linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx . I don't use the media_build backward-compatability build system, myself.
