Re: PCTV 290e - assorted problems

[Steve Kerrison <steve@stevekerrison.com>]

That is most likely the em28xx locking bug. It'll happen when you plug a
second em28xx device in, or plug one in for a second time. The steps
you've shown include that process. Try doing `rmmod em28xx-dvb` before
re-plugging the device. If that 'cures' it, you're a victim of the same
problem.

I'm not overtly familiar with the interactions of em28xx with the rest
of the kernel & userland and why the bug manifests, but it is on my list
of things to (try to) fix, although I'm hoping somebody more able than
me figures it out first :)
