Comment 167 for bug 439163

Wooooooh!

Finally got to scan something today in MythTV with my Hauppauge HVR4000. On Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

It was stunning to finally see it work as expected. Like, after so many failed attempts I was so sure it would never work.

What I did:
- follow instructions of comment #50
- but with repository given in comment #128
- (of course) the removal of kernels must be adjusted to the actual kernel version used
- some commands failed but succeeded when used with sudo
- both 'make' and 'make install' ended at first in a Segmentation Fault, but completed when retried after a reboot (why???)
- also I installed the sources of the kernel

I am a little bit concerned with the segmentation fault: is it normal or does it suggest a problem with my box? Maybe overheating, or maybe bad software? Should I avoid upgrading the kernel?

What do you think?
