Pinnacle PCTV 310i Remote: i2c 'ERROR: NO_DEVICE'

[picciuX <matteo@picciux.it>]

hi all.
Someone could explain to me what does 'saa7133[0]: i2c xfer: < 8f
ERROR: NO_DEVICE' mean? It appears in my logs exactly when I push a
button on my Pinnacle PCTV 310i remote... and obviously the remote
seems not to work.... this is why I enabled debug output.
Seems strange to me that I found tutorials on the net talking about
this board, and reporting experiences of happy users because the board
and the remote both *just work*. In my case, and some other I found
googling around, the remote simply doesn't work.
An user had two cards, buyed 6 months one after the other: the first
*just worked*, the second didn't.
Mine is new, and Pinnacle changed the name in "PCTV Hybrid Pro PCI",
but pci ids are the very same of PCTV 310i. Maybe did something change
on this cards?
I searched the net, with no luck.
Today i tried enabling saa7134 debug, loading the module like this:

modprobe saa7134 ir_debug=1 i2c_debug=1 gpio_tracking=1

My syslog started filling the screen with i2c xfer lines. When I
pushed a button on the remote, immediately appeared those "ERROR:
NO_DEVICE" lines, like this:

[ 1065.227063] saa7133[0]: i2c xfer: < 8f =ef =56 =40 =93 >
[ 1065.334805] saa7133[0]: i2c xfer: < 8f =6f =fd =d4 =4f >
[ 1065.443552] saa7133[0]: i2c xfer: < 8f =6a =5d =d3 =cd >
[ 1065.550300] saa7133[0]: i2c xfer: < 8f =b2 =6c =5e =28 >
[ 1065.658042] saa7133[0]: i2c xfer: < 8f =5c =02 =36 =f5 >
[ 1065.765786] saa7133[0]: i2c xfer: < 8f =07 =fc =dd =5b >
[ 1065.874533] saa7133[0]: i2c xfer: < 8f ERROR: NO_DEVICE
[ 1065.974329] saa7133[0]: i2c xfer: < 8f ERROR: NO_DEVICE
[ 1066.073096] saa7133[0]: i2c xfer: < 8f ERROR: NO_DEVICE
[ 1066.172860] saa7133[0]: i2c xfer: < 8f =ec =de =bd =fb >
[ 1066.280569] saa7133[0]: i2c xfer: < 8f =32 =d5 =13 =75 >
[ 1066.388315] saa7133[0]: i2c xfer: < 8f =af =6a =8f =01 >
[ 1066.496064] saa7133[0]: i2c xfer: < 8f =60 =20 =00 =10 >

I repeated the test more than once, just to be sure of the
relationship between remote button presses and the *ERROR* lines.

Kernel is stock ubuntu 8.04 (2.6.24-21). I tried also compiling and
using latest v4l-dvb from mercurial: but besides some problems with
saa7134_alsa (probably latest v4l-dvb needs a more recent kernel),
nothing changed with the remote.

Someone can shed some light on this?

I can post the entire dmesg output from module load to module unload,
if it could be useful.

Thanks a lot...
