Well I tried to use Hardy instead of my older distro, and unfortunately the cx88 driver causes a kernel Oops during bootup. I can paste stack traces if anyone is interested.
Is anyone working to make sure the cards work with the latest kernels? Should I stick with Feisty which works perfectly for me (Linux Mint Celena) or is it worth the effort to try to make the latest kernel work?
Thanks,
Mark |

Well, the best way to figure out a problem on your own is to post to a forum! I remember having this problem once before - it only seems to happen if you have two 5500's. The cx88-alsa driver goes berzerk.
There are two steps you need to take:
1) In /etc/modules, add:
cx88-dvb
2) In /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist add:
blacklist cx88-alsa
Now everything seems to be OK; it is scanning for channels successfully. |
