Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic

[I have reported this problem upstream to the linux-dvb mailing list.

http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-May/018232.html

Alas, not a single response there. So this may be specific to the Ubuntu
kernel.]

Hi,

using a Nova-T dvb card, I get the following in /var/log/messages...

22:09:54 kernel: cx88_wakeup: 2 buffers handled (should be 1)
22:09:57 kernel: cx88_wakeup: 2 buffers handled (should be 1)
22:10:06 kernel: cx88_wakeup: 2 buffers handled (should be 1)
22:10:09 kernel: cx88_wakeup: 2 buffers handled (should be 1)
22:10:12 kernel: cx88_wakeup: 2 buffers handled (should be 1)
22:10:15 kernel: cx88_wakeup: 2 buffers handled (should be 1)

...every few seconds while watching TV with xine or other dvb-apps. The
event results in a visible interruption of the video stream.


Looking on the net for solutions, I found these suggestions:

- changing PCI latency in the BIOS settings

- putting the card into a different PCI slot

- using "pci=routeirq" or "pci=noacpi" kernel boot parameters

I tried all these, but it did NOT help.

So, where should I look for solutions now?


The system is an Intel 965 chipset mainboard, running a default Ubuntu
"Feisty" 7.04 with its stock kernel (package 2.6.20-15-generic).

The dvb card is fine, it works without these problems with a different
mainboard and the same Linux distribution.


Hope this info helps:
