[ivtv-users] HVR-1600 driver issue in CentOS 5.2

Also modprobe -r of the cx18 module at any points ends up with a

Perhaps. It could also be problems with the new infrastructure changes. 
In which case Hans would be interested if you can narrow it down to that 
or not. 

>From what I can read in the lockup messages, the cx18 driver was trying 
to unload and when calling v4l2 and i2c infrastructure functions, 
something hung up for 10 seconds. (Maybe waiting on a lock that 
something in your kernel never released?) 

Andy, 
	thanks for the quick response. I managed to fix the module unload
problems by selecting "Enable drivers not supported by this kernel" at
compile time. It didn't occur to me to have this enabled earlier as I just
ran with the defaults.  I will try some of your other suggestions and report
back shortly.

Thanks

Tony
