[linux-dvb] Azurewave mantis problems

[linux-dvb] Azurewave mantis problems

[Claes Lindblom]

Hi,
I'm running Ubuntu server 9.04 amd64 with kernel 2.6.28-11-server kernel.

When running s2-liplianin with my Azurewave AD-SP400 CI (Twinhan 
VP-1041) it stops working after a while and
if I do a dmesg I can see this every time it stops working. Sometimes I 
have to poweroff my computer because a reboot
will not fix the problem.

In this case it stopped working and then I tried to szap-s2 on the 
loopback device, hence the loopback messages.
And in this case a restart of sasc-ng solved the problem.

Then I tried the initial mantis trre mantis-v4l I have to modprobe 
mantis to get it to load and the first channelscan with scan-s2
did not work, the second time worked and third and above did not work. 
Switching back to s2-liplianin it works again but stops working
after a while. Today I used szap on a DVB-S2 channel and after that it 
stopped working again.

I have had dvbloopback loaded and sasc-ng running but my tuning was on 
adapter 0 (not the loopback device)

Does anyone have any thoughts or clues about this. It feels like the 
driver are more unstable than about 6 month ago or it is
something with my Gigiabyte motherboard.

Regards
Claes

I have done some more testing and I have come to some more conclusions that
might be helpful.

After 2-3 days of continues running szap-s2 on different channels 
without problems I started Mythtv and scheduled a recording.
The next day the error had appeared again and I get a lot of "Slave RACK 
Fail !". I power off the computer and starts it again.
Now I run scan-s2 with parameter "-a 0 -l UNIVERSAL -s 0 -n" for a 
complete network scan. When I check the computer again in
about an hour scan-s2 hangs and once again a lot of "Slave RACK Fail !" 
messages in dmesg.
As far as I can see it appears when scanning it goes wrong and I'm not 
sure but mythtv might do some scanning in the background?

Which S2API development branch for mantis is the best to use?
