[linux-dvb] Firmware error for Asus MyCinema P7131H (NXP)

[linux-dvb] Firmware error for Asus MyCinema P7131H (NXP)

[Francesco]

Hi,
   I've a problem with new version of MyCinema 7131H, one with NXP chip 
(saa7131E, tda10046A).

On boot, system fail to load firmware for tda10046, showing a wrong 
firmware revision number (normally 80, but sometimes other numbers).

If I reboot (not shutdown & power up!), or if I unload all saa7134* 
modules from memory and reload saa7134-dvb, firmware is loaded correctly 
with revision 20...

Note: I never had this problem with old Philips-brand Asus P7131H.


thanks in advance,

After reading "unstable tda1004x firmware loading", I've found a little 
workaround (not a solution, but...) for this problem...

Simply adding "saa7134-dvb" to /etc/modules, make a successful firmware 
loading on boot.
(My system is an Ubuntu 7.10)
