Bug Description

The Hauppauge HVR-1600 is not always detected. Sometimes if I shut the computer all the way down it will work on the next boot. Also it seems to work one time after moving the card to a different PCI slot. I will include the dmesg output when it worked for comparison to the non-working dmesg output hopefully attached to this bug via the "ubuntu-bug -p linux" command.

Thanks, PLA

hate this ajax thingy.

Just lost a big comment explaining what i've found around your bug. Sorry....

We need you to test against Karmic kernel (cx18 used by you is 1.0.0 and doesn't include several enhancements in 1.2.0 that may solve your problem) if this doesn't work we'll need you to test against latest mainline PPA kernel.

Your card requires high IO from your PCI bus and it seems to get choked at the boot time by some other device or because a shared interrupt. That avoids it to detect properly the firmware so it won't work.

Several workarounds are used by people affected by this, from reloading the module after boot to adding options to it (debug, mmio_delay, i2c_..) check the references.
