Hii
Just in case somebody else has a similar problem:
I've got rid of the following error messages:
> Jun 29 20:15:02 banshee kernel: msp34xx: I/O error #1 (write 0x12/0x00)
> Jun 29 20:15:04 banshee kernel: msp34xx: I/O error #2 (write 0x12/0x00)

They actually came from a bad/corrupted eeprom on my PVR 350.
Trying different ivtv-versions and debug levels turned up this:
ivtv: Error -19 reading Hauppauge eeprom.
ivtv: Possible causes: the tveeprom module was not loaded, or
ivtv: the eeprom kernel module was loaded before the tveeprom module.
followed by i2c errors like:
ivtv: i2c client addr: 0x40 not found!
ivtv: i2c client addr: 0x40 not found!
ivtv: i2c client addr: 0x40 not found!
ivtv: Switching standard to PAL.
ivtv: i2c client id: 0x02 not found!
However, the eeprom module was definitely not loaded and the tveeprom
module loaded without problems.
Other messages from tveeprom included (to give some searches for this post
a chance ;-):
tveeprom: Encountered bad packet header [f0].
Corrupt or not a Hauppauge eeprom.
This actually made me think. How do you fix a corrupted eeprom? There
is no tool for this coming with ivtv package, right?
Because I could not think of anything better, I removed the PVR 350 and put
it into a PC running Windows XP, installed the Hauppauge drivers and TV2000
from the original CD. Did not turn up any problem. Could switch channels
and record MPEGs. So the card wasn't broken after all.
Well, after putting the card back into my Linux machine, the errors
above were gone too. It's my (wild) guess that the original Hauppauge
drivers for Windows rewrote the eeprom contents.
Anyways, it worked for me and I hope that it works for somebody else! ;-)
