the new Splash with will not work correct with DVB Hardware if I boot with splash and Framebuffer DVB crashes after boot if I use unly Framebuffer it seems to work. tested on kernel gentoo-2.6.11-11 2.6.12-r3 and r4 the stable Release R. Roland
I don't really understand what "the new Splash" is... Please post exact ebuild name and version and reopen. And DVB hardware is exactly what?
ebuild is media-gfx/splashutils-1.1.9.7 and dvb Hardware is this: a Videocard to get TV over satellite E.G. Technotrend Hardware Kernel Modul is dvb_ttpci
And "DVB crashes" means that machine freezes or watching TV does not work or... ?
TV watching it crashes only the dvb_ttpci driver ...other dvb card working fine
What do you mean by 'crashes the driver'? What happens exatcly? Please provide some more detailed information and attach your kernel log (`dmesg`) after the crash.
PC starts load all drivers, load TV Application (vdr) after 2 -5 Seconds vdr crashes now it restarts because of a watchdog deamon then dmesg looks like this: saa7146: register extension 'dvb'. saa7146: register extension 'budget_ci dvb'. dvb-ttpci: gpioirq unknown type=0 len=0 dvb-ttpci: info @ card 0: firm f0240009, rtsl b0250018, vid 71010068, app 8000261e dvb-ttpci: firmware @ card 0 supports CI link layer interface dvb-ttpci: Crystal audio DAC @ card 0 detected dvb-ttpci: found av7110-0. saa7146: unregister extension 'dvb'. Now the the tv Application needs 1 DVB Card This is since the Update to the newer splashutils Regards Roland
Please also provide the log vdr produces.
Possibly vdr is started too fast, means: before udev is able to create the device node. Could you try to insert a sleep in the startscript before vdr is started?
Yes of course, but I think it's a Hardware Problem I'm testing now a other card Please standby R. Roland
Hello, I'm back ;-). I tried several cards, even kernel... 12-r6. Always same Problem. If I start splash from grub..it crashes. If I start with framebuffer only all works fine. Regards Roland
Ok, so could you now please provide parts of the log file of vdr.

Any progress with this one?
Same Problem with the new Kernel R. R.
Have you tried upgrading to splashutils-1.1.9.9 and rebuilding your initrd? Is there any difference if you run with splash=silent and splash=verbose? Does the problem occur when you boot with splash=off, and then use the splash_manager script to activate fbsplash on some ttys?
Hello I try the new one please standby Regards Roland
Hello, I'm back ;-( I try'd all even with the new 2.6.12-r10 gentoo Sources I get this If I'm not use gensplash but with vesafb-tng (1600x1200 on nvidia with the nvidia driver) all works fine. But if I start gensplash from grub the dvb Device crashes after a short time (5 Seconds). Under -r10 I even get a Kernel oops. (Loops all 5 Seconds) Until -r9 I can start splash in default Runlevel and it works .... but in -r10 this will also not work. I can't start splash via /etc/init.d/splash start. There is no Result....but from grub commandline it works.. but I get the Kernel oops. :-( Regards Roland
Hello, with Kernel 2.6.13-gentoo exactly the same Problem I get a kernel Oops Regards Roland
Hello, with Kernel 2.6.13-r2 the same Problem crash if I start from grub.conf from Console it will not start Regards Roland

With The newer Kernel Sources it works fine!
