Subject:   Bt848 corruption since upgrading to 3.1. Has DMA code changed?
Message-ID:  <370CB2DC.709E7CEA@cs.strath.ac.uk>

Hi,
 
Several people (including Luigi) have reported that video capture with
the bt848 driver is not working right since they upgraded from 2.2.6 or
2.2.8 to 3.1-release
 
Luigi and I noticed the problem in VIC (lots of horizontal lines in the
image) and others have rpeorted FXTV problems.
 
It looks like a DMA problem. The DMA is either timing out or the bus
mastering is failing or the DMA transfer data is getting corrupted.
 
Nothing has changed in the bt848 driver in this area since 2.2.x and I
tested with the vic from 2.2.6 a.out format pkg_add.
It looks like something has changed in the kernel's PCI bus setup code.
 
 
Does anyone know what is different in the 3.x kernel (compared to the
2.2.x kernel) which could be causing this corruption.
 
HELP!
 
Roger
