release kernel since 3.8.0-17. While the USB devices are recognized, as<br>
follows:<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
The following dmesg output does not appear in any kernel I've tried<br>
later than 3.8.0-17:<br>
<br>
[ 20.621896] hdpvr 1-1:1.0: firmware version 0x1e dated Mar 7 2012<br>
08:25:15<br>
[ 20.621899] hdpvr 1-1:1.0: untested firmware, the driver might not work.<br>
[ 21.008772] hdpvr 1-1:1.0: device now attached to video0<br>
[ 21.009618] hdpvr 3-4:1.0: firmware version 0x15 dated Jun 17 2010<br>
09:26:53<br>
[ 21.196507] hdpvr 3-4:1.0: device now attached to video1<br>
<br>
Everything else seems to work normally.<br>
<br>
<br>
As long as I boot with 3.8.0-17, /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 appear and<br>
myth records normally. Boot with any later kernel (including upstream<br>
release kernels), and the device nodes don't appear.<br>
<br>
I realize that this isn't strictly a mythtv issue, but the largest<br>
number of linux HD-PVR users are probably on this list, and I'm hoping<br>
someone can suggest where to look for the problem or how to proceed.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
