m28xx_alsa: disagrees about version of symbol snd_pcm_new

[Amitai Bar]

Hi
I understand that the "patched for DVB" em28xx would not work under lucid since the massive v4l changes but the old one now does not work as well
It keeps generating this error while plugging in the TV device

Is it a driver or alsa problem?

Hi Amitai,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 566540

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

I just walked through something very like this today -- your videodev / v4l and your device driver are out of synch. do this:
sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/empia
sudo mv /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media Código/media_backup
sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-2.6.32-21-powerpc64-smp
then rebuild the driver.. see my forum query at: http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9375404

-- em28xx-dvb is not loading for me so it's not a full solution. at least your em28xx will load after this though

[robbie (roberto-tomas-cuentas)]

obviously changing the image to the appropriate one for your architecture!
