Hi all,
I have tried to install Nova-t dvb card on Fedora core 4 (kernels 2.6.11 - 2.6.14) last two weeks but no success. Is there any member on that forum who has met some BP6 specific problems with either Nova or similar budget dvb cards.
Some background, I have tested: both Conexant chipset version and Philips chipset version of that card. Both built in kernel and modules based. W/ SMP kernel and singel cpu kernel. W/ acpi=off noapic. Those cards are working perfectly with Epia-MII and BX133.
Result: usually computer hangs up when trying to access card e.g. with tzap or tuner status data is "bullshit" or something else.
But main problem is that couldn't find any similar type of problems/solve out with google.
BIOS is latest 1.30B
Thank's Tommi Niemi
Nova-T DVB in BP6
Hello Tommi and welcome to the forums.
I had no idea what the Nova-T was so I googled a bit. When you say " Those cards are working perfectly with Epia-MII and BX133", do you mean on those platforms under Linux?
If so then I would simply try to emulate the setup on those platforms. Your post isn't entirely clear if you are just seeing problems with this card on BP6 or if you are having problems with it under Linux in general.
If that card works under Epia-MII and the BX133 then I would simply use the command "lsmod" to see which modules are loaded to make it work. You can also try using the good old lspci to figure out what chipset is being used. I got a TV card in my Gentoo machine and it reports something like this:
There it specifically points out a Bt878 chipset from Brooktree.
But as I said, I did Google around a bit and found out that the chipset is Philips and not the Brooktree stuff. I found this page which doesn't seem to be complete but it might help you along the way.
Just two more points before finishing up: There have been reported cases of some new PCI cards not working with the BP6. I haven't had such problems so I haven't been able to investigate further so I can't really determine if these issues are real or not. I wouldn't be surprised though if that was the case. You also mention that your BIOS version is version 1.30B. However, that is only so for the 366 IDE chipset and not the motherboard chipset.
If you need further help, post the output of the following commands:
lspci -v
lsmod
cat /proc/interrupts
Also post which application you are trying to use to access your TV card. Having both TVtime and KDEtv to alternate between is a good idea (and even xawtv if needed).

Hi, thanks about your comment and help. Now here is really long message, hope you can find something "odd" there.
I have tested same setup w/ BP6 and BX133. I took HDD from BP6 and put it to BX133 and then picking non SMP kernel and voila it works w/ (dvb cards and v4l) compiled in kernel and also when those are module based. dvb-core support is always compiled in kernel (if I remember correctly). then I took HDD back to BP6 and I run same kernel, not working with either version (module based and compiled in kernel). I paste mine dmesg, lspci -v, cat/proc/interrupts and lsmod here. Hope you can see some mistmatch from there. Some more, I have tested each PCI slot on BP6 and based on those also tested noapic boot option and also pci=noacpi no result from there.
Current setup: network card on PCI1, conexant based Nova-T on PCI3, only one HDD on HPT366. Bios is RV w/ 1.30B on HPT366. APCI and APM turned off from BIOS settings. As you see from lsmod all needed modules are loaded
Applications what i have been used: TZAP is a tool for tune the card, dvbscan catch psi and si data. mplayer (w/ inbuilt dvb and also w/ pipelining) same for xine.
I never manage to even tune, frontend give some ought status data and sometimes it just crash whole computer. dvbscan and players doesn't crash but cannot get card to tune.
I have need for MythTV backend setup w/ 2-3 dvb cards and like to use good old BP6 for that but seems to be really nasty case to manage it work.

I have tested same setup w/ BP6 and BX133. I took HDD from BP6 and put it to BX133 and then picking non SMP kernel and voila it works w/ (dvb cards and v4l) compiled in kernel and also when those are module based. dvb-core support is always compiled in kernel (if I remember correctly). then I took HDD back to BP6 and I run same kernel, not working with either version (module based and compiled in kernel). I paste mine dmesg, lspci -v, cat/proc/interrupts and lsmod here. Hope you can see some mistmatch from there. Some more, I have tested each PCI slot on BP6 and based on those also tested noapic boot option and also pci=noacpi no result from there.
Current setup: network card on PCI1, conexant based Nova-T on PCI3, only one HDD on HPT366. Bios is RV w/ 1.30B on HPT366. APCI and APM turned off from BIOS settings. As you see from lsmod all needed modules are loaded
Applications what i have been used: TZAP is a tool for tune the card, dvbscan catch psi and si data. mplayer (w/ inbuilt dvb and also w/ pipelining) same for xine.
I never manage to even tune, frontend give some ought status data and sometimes it just crash whole computer. dvbscan and players doesn't crash but cannot get card to tune.
I have need for MythTV backend setup w/ 2-3 dvb cards and like to use good old BP6 for that but seems to be really nasty case to manage it work.

Thanks for the information. I think I understand a bit more although I don't have any firm answers for you.
Here are my recommendations:
1. Make sure you have the latest RV BIOS version. You can find the latest and greatest over here.
2. Turn off APM but make sure you enable ACPI. You should be able to get it working if you have the RV BIOS.
2. Connect your harddrive to the regular IDE connector (making your harddrive /dev/hda). Turn off the HPT366 in BIOS, or even load the RV BIOS without support for it. The reason why I am mentioning this is that your card seems to be sharing an interrupt with the HPT366:
You may be afraid that you will be loosing performance and in theory that is so (and in burst speed). But for continous bandwidth usage the difference isn't as great as the marketing departments of various harddrive manufacturers would like you to believe. Since you are going to be using bandwidth when recording etc with MythTV then I doubt you will be seeing any benefits.
4. Any hardware that you are not using (USB, serial, parallel ports, second IDE channel etc), turn them off. You are activating stuff you are not needing, allocating resources and loading modules that is totally unnecessary in this setup. If you are not using it then disable it.
See where the above will get you. If this doesn't work then I am sure that the BP6 doesn't want to work with the PCI card you are using.
And to finish off I would like to respond to this from you:

Do you mean you are going to run 2-3 DVB cards in the same machine, being used all at once? I am afraid that the BP6 is quite far off from providing the muscle you would need for such a setup. I would think that you can use a TV card in the BP6 but only for average recording quality, if you can even get that. The BP6 is good but not that goodI have need for MythTV backend setup w/ 2-3 dvb cards and like to use good old BP6 for that but seems to be really nasty case to manage it work.

Hi purrkur,
I have latest RV bios.
Do you know is there problem w/ IRQ sharing on BP6 w/ Linux? And if there is are there any solve outs for that.
I have had also on that mobo 2 sound cards (one ISA one PCI) PCMCIA adapter (ISA). All these plus list on below are working fluently w/ win98 and Win2k
Problem for me is that I have 3 x HDD and 1 x CD 1 x DVD and also stuff on USB and also on serial port. When I have strugling w/ that problem all other but one HDD and DVD get removed. What I have planned to test next is try to remove IRQ for USB and test PCI4 and PCI5 (these are sharing USB IRQ) and also I will test what you propose. But finally I will need both IDE channels and HPT366.
For performance: running MythTV backend on BP6 will only do demuxing. One demuxing will take approx 30% from one CPU. I will run MythTV frontends on Epia's and so decoding will be running on there. So basically running Mysql and two DVB cards on BP6 should be OK. If I manage to get these cards working then I will get also final answer for that question.
Thanks Tommi

There are no general problems with IRQ sharing and Linux, no. No more than any other operating system. Ways to solve IRQ conflicts are many and they may depend on your distro (what they activate and so on). I will tell you that I never rely on information from manufacturers when they say that their components can share IRQ's because I have seen plenty of examples where this simply won't be true no matter what the manufacturer says. IRQ sharing is a bad idea no matter what OS, period.nietu wrote:Do you know is there problem w/ IRQ sharing on BP6 w/ Linux? And if there is are there any solve outs for that.
Mmmm. ISA adapters are never fun to work with. Is that soundcard working? Make sure that you have ISA-pnp activated in the kernel etc.nietu wrote:I have had also on that mobo 2 sound cards (one ISA one PCI) PCMCIA adapter (ISA). All these plus list on below are working fluently w/ win98 and Win2k
I still believe that you are loading quite a lot into a relatively old platform. Try with making it simple at first and then add components when you have gotten the basics to work.nietu wrote:Problem for me is that I have 3 x HDD and 1 x CD 1 x DVD and also stuff on USB and also on serial port.

Allright, but like I said, start simple and disable as much as you can. Once you got a single DVB card working then try the other. From there I would start adding the rest.nietu wrote:For performance: running MythTV backend on BP6 will only do demuxing. One demuxing will take approx 30% from one CPU.
