[mythtv-users] SkyStar2 no scan/tune possible

[Thomas Kuster]

Hello

I have a Skystar2 DVB-S card (see lspci [0]). This card worked perfectly with 
my old VIA EPIA M board. Now I have switched to a Intel D945GCLF2 (CPU Atom 
Dualcore) board. I use as before a Debian Lenny. But now I can not tune to a 
channel in mythtv-setup and with scan [1].

The only errors I can see is this:
[    7.696998] b2c2-flexcop: i2c master_xfer failed
[    7.697776] b2c2-flexcop: i2c master_xfer failed
[    7.697830] CX24123: cx24123_i2c_readreg: reg=0x0 (error=-121)
see dmesg [2]

As before I have a DVB-T USB stick. This works without problem.

I tested also different kernel versions:
* vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-amd64
* vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-amd64
* vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64
* vmlinuz-2.6.30.1tomix (from kernel.org with dvb from 
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pb/v4l-dvb/)
and Kubuntu (9.04 amd64 and i386) without any success.

I found that some have the same problems, but no solution. Some say it's just 
a problem of the new version of the driver (but the missing line was in the 
newest version), so this was not a solution. Other have a problem, if the 
update to more RAM. This was also not my problem (I set the RAM to 512K with 
grub). Any more ideas?

Sorry for my bad english.

Thomas
