Hello Phillip,

Thank you for your lengthy reply. It's nice to see this bug is being taken seriously, despite my amateurish attempts at reporting it.

Attached is the full dmesg report, as requested.

I cannot confirm right now that it only happens on the second card. I'll have a play with removing the hardware tomorrow and get back to you on that one.

Mandriva uses kernel 2.6.17 according to it's distrowatch page. I shall confirm this tomorrow by booting the livecd again.

The Gentoo system used kernel 2.6.18 or 2.6.19, I'm honestly not sure.

I did find this, which is concerning me. Maybe this is a hardware issue after all: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-January/007910.html

Is there a way of forcing the driver to see the board as having a specific frontend? I'm certain the cards are identical, and if the driver can see past this error, I guess it might work?
