Sorry - dropped the entire message.

I'm still having this issue, with Mythbuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-24-generic, and v4l-dvb mercurial as at today.

I get the issue when I do a warm boot, or when I shut down the mythbackend.

It seems the reason I get characters flooding the console is probably related to the usb driver crashing, and the fact that I'm using a usb keyboard & mouse.

When I do a warm boot, most times I get this issue. When this happens, the mouse and keyboard won't even connect (no lights on mouse or keyboard, and no reaction to keypresses)

In the attached dmesg dump it can be seen that it starts up okay (cold boot). Then I've shutdown the mythtv backend and then the error messages start. At the end, you can see the problem stops once I remove dvb_usb_cxusb from the kernel.

I'm not sure how to progress this. I understand the problem is likely to be with the dvb_usb_cxusb module, or the drivers, but not the kernel. I have seen this thread on the V4L-DVB mailing list, but I can't tell if there's anything happening with it or not. Is there anything else I can do to help get a resolution?
