Ubuntu karmic, 2.6.31-14 + KNC1 DVB-S2 = GPF

Ubuntu karmic, 2.6.31-14 + KNC1 DVB-S2 = GPF

[Thomas Kernen]

Hello all,

It would appear that since I've upgraded to Ubuntu Karmic and the 
2.6.31-14 kernel, my KNC1 DVB-S2 now enjoys a GPF when I use scan-s2.

Card seems to initialise without any issues as it did with previous kernels:

Once I launch scan-s2:
scan-s2 -vvvv -a 2 -s 1 -l UNIVERSAL /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Hotbird-13.0E

I see the following via dmesg:

Has anyone else come across this issue with a KNC1 card? Any suggestions 
what I can do to trace the issue?

Which gcc version are you using?
If you run a gcc 4.4 could you try to compile the v4l-dvb tree with a gcc-4.3 
and see if it helps?

Hi Julian,

I did recompile with gcc-4.3 as you suggested and yes that solved the 
issue. My card now works fine with v4l-dvb complied with gcc 4.3.

Since gcc 4.4 is the default GCC version with Ubuntu Karmic (9.10), I 
expect others will run into the same issue.
