Regression with kernel 3.1 and bt87x?

Regression with kernel 3.1 and bt87x?

[Sebastian Steinhuber]

Hi all,

I've got a Hauppauge WinTV pci board that used to be working until
kernel 3.1 was used; I tried 3.1.1, too, without luck. 3.0.7 is working,
with the same config as the 3.1s regarding the media parts.

I'm compiling my customized kernel from vanilla sources and a
linux-vserver patch, and I also tested the 3.1.0-1-amd64 from debian
stock with very result.


On starting up Zapping, I got these messages:
'Unable to open /dev/video0.'
'The device cannot be attached to any controller.'
Tvtime simply complained about 'No signal'.

I couldn't find further messages or any errors in syslog nor in
messages, so I'm feeling there might be a bug somewhere.


The same modules are loaded into the kernel with 3.0.7 (working, with
the same config as the 3.1s regarding the media parts), 3.1 and also 3.1.1:
bttv
btcx_risc
rc_core
tuner
tuner_simple
tuner_types
videobuf_dma_sg
videobuf_core
tveeprom


$lspci -vv

Update: There are no issues with 3.0.9.

If someone has an idea which commit could cause the problem, I would
like to check it out. I have cloned the stable kernel repository and
despite of being new to git, I can test every commit with the hardware.
Thanks in advance,

Sebastian
