[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#478348: hal 0.5.11 hangs cx22702 dvb tuner

[Alain Cabiran]

Package: hal
Version: 0.5.10-5.1
Severity: important


Hello, after upgrading to lenny, i found many read/write reg
errors in my logs, and mplayer and kaffeine were unable to
tune channels.

Running amsn logs error of loading firmware. if i asked
mplayer to play analog tv channel, dvb became accessible
but unstable.

stopping hal and reloading drivers made it work. but
errors came immediately when starting hal.

i compiled hal 0.5.10 and using it now, everything works fine.

i had these problem with kernel 2.6.23.17 that's why i upgraded to
2.6.25 so
it does not seem to come from kernel but from hal.

regards,

Alain Cabiran
