Lifeview hybrid saa7134 driver not working anymore

Hi, for a couple of days now, my lifeview PCI hybrid card that worked flawlessly for the last 2 years doesn't work. The problem is with the driver from what I understand from the logs.

Today 23/8/2009 I tried the drivers within vanilla kernel 2.6.30.5 (i386 and amd64) and then separately latest mercurial snapshot. I always use latest mercurial snapshot updating every time a new kernel is released. This card works within Windows XP. I also switched the PCI slot but that didn't help.

For the driver, I issued the command:

modprobe saa7134 i2c_debug=1 i2c_scan=1 disable_ir=1

I attached the log because it's kinda big for posting it on the message. For any ideas or suggestions I am here available for testing them. :)

Hi scoop,

Am Sonntag, den 23.08.2009, 17:52 +0300 schrieb [email protected]:

the report is at least fine.

An i2c device, working over years on 0x10, vanished mysteriously.

I guess you don't have much better options here than to try, if it comes back with any combination of either most triggering it or not at all ...

Cheers,
Hermann

Considering your reply, I started today by changing the card to all PCI slots and powering on and off the machine each time, until when I put the card to the bottom PCI it worked again ! Then I tried all other slots again and it was working this time. That is some weird card behaviour !

Thanks for the tip.

It is still a very unpleasant situation for all involved, for you of course in the first place.

But until it should not be a single problem report anymore,for now it is, we have good reasons, to start questioning about the PSU in use and its current shape, the mobo distributing the voltage further, and in the end too, if something like a capacitor on the card itself starts leaking.

After all that, unfortunately, programming still can be a point, of course, but it did not change within that driver since long.

However, others operating on a higher level, can introduce_something/clear/fail_at_all on such too.

If you can't get out of that random, but windows always works, I guess we have a performance problem on your hardware ;)

Cheers,
Hermann
