Fwd: ATI HDTV Wonder not always recognized

Fwd: ATI HDTV Wonder not always recognized

[Dreher, Eric]

I am need of opinions on whether this is a driver or motherboard issue
(or something else).

I originally had an ATI HDTV Wonder card working perfectly along with
a PVR-150 in my two PCI slots of a Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard.
Driver for the HDTV Wonder is cx88_dvb, and the PVR, ivtv

The PVR-150 recently started to deteriorate with a poor picture
quality ( I can describe more if relevant).  So I purchased a
replacement PVR-150 and popped into place.  The new PVR-150 worked
without a hitch itself.  But...the HDTV Wonder isn't even recognized.
Does not show up in lspci.  "modprobe cx88_dvb" reports "no such
device"

I have tried swapping PCI slots with no luck, replaced the old PVR-150
with no luck.

But the HDTV Wonder is recognized in one slot only with the other slot
empty.  So I can currently run with either card, but not both.

Motherboard has the most recent firmware.  I've updated Ubuntu to 9.10
and v4l-dvb drivers to most recent 0.0.7.  (No noticable difference
from 0.0.6 as far as what I need).

Is my logic correct in blaming the motherboard?  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Eric

Take out all your PCI cards, blow all the dust out of all the slots,
replace the cards, and try again.

The PCI bus uses refelected waves to get the proper signaling voltage
levels.  Dust in any of ther slots can have an effect on a sensitive
card.  I know the bttv supported cards are sensitive to this; I don't
know about cx88 supported devices.
