PVR-150 Driver Problem

Jan 2, 2011, 10:31 AM

Post #1 of 3 (2392 views)

I recently upgrade my mother board to a Biostar A880G+ and Linux
2.6-35. My PVR-150 no longer works. In going through the trouble
shooting guide, it appears to be a problem in loading the driver but
since I am no expert, I could use some insight as to what is going
wrong and how to fix it.

The CX25843 chip on your PVR-150 isn't responding properly.

The most likely cause is the CX25843 chip on your PVR-150 is no longer
working.

You can turn on some debugging as root to see what the cx25840 module is
reading as a device ID from the CX25843 chip:

# modprobe -r ivtv
# modprobe -r cx25840
# modprobe cx25840 debug=1
# modprobe ivtv debug=0x203
# dmesg

You can try a few things to see if the PVR-150 card will work again:

1. Don't load proprietary drivers like the fglrx module listed in your
output above. If they accidentially corrupt the window into CX23416
memory space or register space, or corrupt ivtv internal data
structures, then things won't work.

or

2. Pull out *all* your PCI cards, blow the dust out of *all* the slots,
reinsert the cards, and test again.

or

3. Blacklist the ivtv module in /etc/modporbe.conf.d/, and modprobe the
ivtv module later after the boot sequence is complete. The PCI bus
register accesses for the I2C bus transactions may not be reliable on
that motherboard when the PCI bus is very busy.

or

4. Test with a Windows install on the machine.

or

5. Test the PVR-150 in another machine.

Andy

The CX25843 chip on your PVR-150 is most likely dead. All analog video
and audio processing goes through the CX25843 chip. If the CX25843 is
dead, then your PVR-150 is useless.

The list below had all my suggestions. If none of them result in the
PVR-150 working, then it is time to throw your broken PVR-150 in the
trash can.
