When you want we can check the audio issue.
Consider that actually I've installed the latest main v4l-dvb (to test 
if all the patches have been ported to themain tree) and it's ok. 
However I have no problem to install your tree driver again to test 
whatever is needed to have a fully functional device.

PS the device has also a s-video (9 pin) input. In case I can test it, 
but I prefer to do that after the analog audio isssue has been solved

I've used the rewrite_eeprom_v_1_4 which you send me 5 month ago when 
the eprom got corrupted for the first time.



Great, now it's available at v4l-dvb tree.

Anyway, now we need to check the audio issue.

Thanks!

Ok!
I've restored the eprom and now it is recognised again.



Just to confirm, did you the rewrite_eeprom tool?

  
  

The only not working part is analog tv audio which doesn't work
even if I use the sox command.



Ok.

  
  

Douglas, in a few minutes I am leaving town for the next five
days. Can you help Xwang out to restore his eeprom content using
your tool?
  
  

Sure Devin.

Cheers,
Douglas

 Just a little addendum.
 I remember that the audio of analog tv has started to work with Markus'
 drivers when he added the em28xx-audioep driver because, if I have correctly
 understood, my device has a  noy standard audio.
 Is it possible to import the necessary code in the main branch so that to
 have the device fully functional (today it is unusable to see analog tv
 because no audio is present).
 Thank you to all,
 Xwang

The dmesg output suggests your device has an EMP202 on the em28xx ac97
port, which is pretty standard and should be supported by the em28xx
current audio driver.  I would have to look closer to better
understand why your audio is not working.

 Hi,
 I want to inform you that thanks to Douglas Schilling Landgraf, the first
 point (automatic recognition of the device when plugged in) ha been resolved
 (using his development tree driver).
 I've tried to scan for digital channels again and the result has not changed
 but in the dmesg attached there are a lot of messages created during the
 scan process. I hope they are useful to solve at list the issue related with
 the digital scanning.
 Thank you,

Yeah, I've seen that before.  Open up em28xx-dvb.c, and move the following:

case EM2880_BOARD_EMPIRE_DUAL_TV:

from line 402 to line 492.  So it should look like this:

case EM2880_BOARD_HAUPPAUGE_WINTV_HVR_900:
case EM2880_BOARD_EMPIRE_DUAL_TV:
  dvb-frontend = dvb_attach(zl10353_attach,

em28xx_zl10353_xc3028_no_i2c_gate,
  dev-i2c_adap);

Then unplug the device, recompile, reinstall and see if the dvb starts working.

2009-08-06 Thread xwang1976

Ok,
I've made the change and now the digital tv works perfectly.
So now I should test the analog tv, but I fear to have another kernel panic.
Is there something I can do before testing so that to be sure that at 
least all the file system are in a safety condition even if a kernel 
panic happens.
I'm wondering if it is the case, for example, to umount them and remount 
in read only mode so that if I have to turn off the pc, nothing can be 
corrupted (is it so?).

What do you suggest?
In case, how can I temporarly umount and remout the file systems in read 
only mode? Should I use alt+sys+S followed by alt+sys+U? Can I use such 
commands while I'm in KDE?

Thank you,
Xwang

Hello Xwang,

   Could you please try the bellow suggestion? 
If you want I can make this change in my development tree and you can

test from there.

Let me know the results

Glad to hear it's working now.  I will add the patch and issue a PULL
request to get it into the mainline (I had to do this already for
several other boards).

Regarding your concerns on panic, as long as you have a modern
filesystem like ext3, and you don't have alot of applications running
which are doing writes, a panic is a pretty safe event.  I panic my
machine many times a week and never have any problems.

Cheers,

Devin
