Public bug reported: I have an Asus P5K motherboard, architecture x86_64, under Ubuntu 10.04, but I just tested my hardware with a Fedora 13 Live CD, I have the same problems; I bought some months ago an HVR-1300, in order to use the mpeg encoder on the board.
>From the moment I installed the card, I use to have two problems : problem #1 : the boot stalls often, at some moment around the local disk mount; and a simple Reset or Power off/Power on, often are not sufficient. Now it's getting pretty annoying, especially because it's a random issue, BUT a frequent one; it makes me think of a race condition into the new Upstart parallel structure for the services startup at boot. But with the HVR-1300 unplugged the boot performs correctly ! problem #2 : I have a TV decoder shipped by my TV provider, so I don't change the channels on the HVR-1300 but on the decoder; thus I use to watch TV in this simple way : mplayer -vc mpeg12 -nocache /dev/video2 (mplayer /dev/video2 works as well, but with some glitches) BUT : just after booting, /dev/video2 does not output any TV image; so I found a workaround : I start : xawtv -c /dev/video1 then stop it, and restart mplayer again : and THEN the TV image is pretty good. Narrowing the issue towards the Linux cx88* driver : ----------------------------------------------------------------- I noticed these two problems with Ubuntu 10.04, AND a Fedora 13 Live CD (both for x86_64) I installed Windows 7 in a small partition, and I had none of my problems with w7, after having installed the HVR-1300 driver for w7 Browsing the forums and mailing-lists, I found that my problem could be an interruption problem : actually, I noticed many such messages these days in the logs : kernel: [ 16.191887] IRQ 18/cx88[0]: IRQF_DISABLED is not guaranteed on shared IRQs I tried to plug the HVR-1300 into another PCI connecteor, unsuccessfully - just the IRQ changed from 18 to 17 .... And I did not find many cx88* options I could tune. Does anybody have a hint ? I may try the MainLine kernels as suggested here by apport-bug : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds?action=show&redirect=KernelTeam%2FMainlineBuilds But if I get the same errors with the Fedora Live CD, with kernel 2.6.33, I don't have much hope ...
