YES, for Ubuntu 8.04 Release Candidate, its kernel 2.6.24-16-generic lack of TV tuner drivers is causing HAL initialization failure or worse for my [A] rig E2160 with its AverTV A777 PCI card using a Zarlink MT352 DVB-T chip. There's also no driver for my [C] rig Northwood P4 AverTV A800 USB module and its DiBcom 3000MC/P chip, which only prevents Freeview reception but doesn't block installation. Indeed, my [C] rig gets so far as to confirm the absence of a suitable driver when configuring Kaffeine. Re-installing Ubuntu 7.10 on my [A] or [C] rigs confirms the presence of drivers in the slightly modified 2.6.22-14-generic kernel.
As also added to Report #25931, it will take a lot of hard work to further confirm, but I'm already convinced. The real trick will now be to get this to someone's attention for the actual Release process and its Updates aftermath ! -- Linux Kernel 2.6.24-12-generic - Best For Hardy ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217726 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
