| Post subject: | Revert to previous kernel? |
I was following the testing repositories up until last night when I upgraded the kernel as part of moving to the 7.1 release. That's causing issues with my tuner. I'll write a more detailed post about the problem, but the short story is that my tuner (a USB Sony PlayTV - which uses the dvb-usb-dib0700 driver) is giving a kernel oops. Can I revert to the previous kernel? Well ... is it easier to revert to a previous kernel than to do a full reinstall? |

False alarm! It wasn't the kernel at all! Browsing through the pacman log to see what was actually changed last night showed that the kernel wasn't updated, but v4l-dvb was. Reverting to the previous revision of that was reasonably easy (the package was still in the cache) Code: sudo pacman -U v4l-dvb-1-17-i686.pkg.tar.gz now its all back to normal (as far as I can see right now).
sudo depmod |

I am surprised that the 1-17 pkg works as it was compiled against an older kernel. Can you try removing v4l-dvb altogether and see if it still works? With v4l-dvb 1-17 removed the 2.6.39 modules should be used. |

Thanks. This happened to me after upgrading to 7.1 and it was blowing my mind, since the kernel module existed, but was exploding. Confirmed, this Code: sudo pacman -R v4l-dvb; sudo depmod; sudo reboot
put everything back in order using the default kernel drivers. |

Nebulous, can you explain more about what this does/did to fix a problem you were having with 7.1? R7.1 made my HDPVR useless as it now will only record about 5-15 minutes and then stop recording but leave the top blue light on and the front red light on. Nothing new can then start to record until I power cycle it. Just wondering if what you did might help my problem. I'm assuming this reverts to an older v4l?? Is that correct? |

I can confirm that after removing the v4l-dvb package, as brfransen suggested, the tuner is still working! |
