<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm see the same problem as well. I just rebuilt my server, a few days ago. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm using SuSe 11.1, and the lastest trunk as of 4 days ago. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I compiled the HD-PVR driver from the v4l respoitory.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I see the same error, although I have not use the newest software very long, just 4 days. But I have had this show up twice so far. I rebooted the server each time to see if that helps. But not sure so far.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I still have the previous HD-PVR driver, so maybe I see if I can compile that with SuSe 11.1. It did with SuSe 11.0.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't have the logs handle as I'm at work. I though I would add my problem to the list.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Should we turn on some logs on the HD-PVR driver, would ones? And I guess we should maybe create a ticket for this?<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
