Argh.  Ubuntu can be problematic with the way they package the kernel
development stuff.  Or I've based that repo on a snapshot that has a
breakage in it for older kernels.  Every cx18 change in that repo should
be non-critical.  You should pull from the main v4l-dvb repo and try to
use that.

Well, everything looked fine in dmesg until 5 seconds after the cx18
module had loaded all it's firmware on to devices (meaning it was done),
this happened:

[   52.601011] tuner-simple 1-0061: destroying instance
[   52.654019] tuner 1-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (cx18 i2c driver #0-1)
[   61.143690] tuner 1-0061: tuner type not set
[   61.173427] tuner 1-0061: tuner type not set


I'm not sure what's going on, but the cx18 module wouldn't try to unload
the tuner module out from under itself.  Something on your system is
prompting this or recent changes to tuner and tuner-simple are doing
this.  You should add

options tuner-simple debug=7
options tuner debug=7

to your /etc/modprobe.conf to see if you get more messages emitted
into /var/log/messages as to what's going on.  (I'm just guessing at the
number 7 and the exact modprobe.conf syntax - feel free to check the
ource for the actual debug level supported and the manpage for
modprobe.conf)

Regards,
Andy
