Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image
Hi
symptom:
------------
I have two dvico cards in this machine, dual digital4 and dual digtial express,
see lspci data.
Both work on 'hardy', with v4l modules from the v4l mercurial repository. I'll
provide more details of that setup shortly.
On karmic the kernel recognizes this card but appears to be unable to make it
tune. When I try to tune with 'dvb-utils' 'scan' program, I get syslog spew:
kernel: [ 315.032076] dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -110 (4/0)
kernel: [ 315.032080] cxusb: i2c read failed
kernel: [ 317.132138] dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -110 (4/0)
kernel: [ 317.132143] cxusb: i2c read failed
...
and the card is unable to tune.
Initially the spew is slow, about 1 per second.
If I rmmod cxusb, the spew stops.
If I then modprobe -v cxusb module, the spew resumes at a dramatically higher
rate.
To reproduce:
------------------
cold-boot the machine. the power supply must be off. unplug if unsure.
To make the kernel initialise it properly I had to add some firmware
(/lib/firmware/xc3028-v27.fw, md5sum 293dc5e915d9a0f74a368f8a2ce3cc10).
This is normal for this card and seems to work ok.

Try to tune with:
$ dvbscan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/au-Sydney_North_Shore | tee northshore.conf
and see how far you get.
Things I tried:
-----------------
I tried to install the latest generic kernel (2.6.31-14.48) but there is some
other bug preventing it from booting.
I tried ubuntu-bug -p, but got a warning
$ ubuntu-bug -p linux
Warning: The options -p/-P are deprecated, please do not use them. See
/usr/bin/ubuntu-bug --help
so I gave up on that approach and will append the requested details shortly.
Perhaps the linux-meta guidelines should be updated?
There are several reports of this kind of problem, going back to the hardy
kernel, I'll try to provide a summary.
In fact on that setup I get similar kinds of syslog spew when shutting down and
sometimes when I warm-boot,
but the cards do at least work if I cold boot.
Unfortunately nobody on the linux-media/linux-dvb list who could do something
about this seems to care.
Perhaps they are waiting for a good bug report, I dunno.
