Comment 20 for bug 659348

I have this same oops with my TeVii S470 DVB-S2 card (cx23885 chip) and Mythbuntu 10.10 with the 2.6.35-24-generic kernel. Mythbuntu 10.04 works fine, but does not run the S470 as it does not have drivers for it. I tried the 2.6.35-02063508 kernel and that works, but I am a bit worried about using that kernel in case it might have other problems for me, so for now I am sticking with 10.04 for production use on my MythTV box, and just rebooting to 10.10 every couple of days to gather my EPG data from EIT on the S470. As you can imagine, that is a complete pain.

I am not exactly familiar with Linux kernels, but I understand that 2.6.35-02063508 is an older kernel than 2.6.35-24-generic. Since the later 2.6.36-020636rc8-generic also works, and the bug seems to be in the cx23885 driver, is there someone out there with rather more kernel expertise than me who could compare those three sources and see what is different, so this bug could get fixed?
