Tim,

I didn't forget.  I saw your message.  (I've been busy with yardwork
today.)  Linux-media or linux-dvb are both appropriate lists.

OK.  This is the failure mode I thought.  I'm not sure how it can
happen: the driver treats your device like a NetUp unit, but you have a
FusionHDTV7.  I'll take a harder look later tonight.

In the meantime, as a workaround you can "#if 0" out the following block
of code in
linux/driver/media/video/cx23885/cx23885-core.c:cx23885_irq():
        
#if 0
        if (cx23885_boards[dev->board].cimax > 0 &&
                ((pci_status & PCI_MSK_GPIO0) || (pci_status & PCI_MSK_GPIO1)))
                /* handled += cx23885_irq_gpio(dev, pci_status); */
                handled += netup_ci_slot_status(dev, pci_status);
#endif

that should stop this particular panic for you.  Things still may not
work right though...

Regards,
Andy
