I have two cards and have been testing with Ubuntu 10.10. The cards are
 - TechnoTrend S2-3200 (saa7146)
 - TeVii S464 (cx88)

I've been seing the dreadful "unable to handle kernel paging request" +
mythtv-setup freeze both with the stock 2.6.35 kernel as well as with
the 2.6.32 kernel from 10.04LTS but *only if* I manually install the
newer liplianin DVB drivers to get support for the TeVii / cx card.

The cx88 driver in Maverick's 2.6.35.22 does not support the TeVii S464
yet. The cx drivers are loaded at boot time although the /dev/dvb device
isn't created, and IIRC hung mythtv-setup still hung but I can't seem to
reproduce it now (but I'm on 2.6.35.23 already).

It's a pity because the TeVii seems to pick up more channels (better
sensitivity?). The only way to get the TeVii in a somewhat working state
is to use their beta V4L/DVB driver tarball from March 2010 (which is
just a patched V4L source tree and doesn't build successfully with
2.6.35 headers).

The S464 card still isn't supported in V4L, using liplianin drivers I
can get some results using w_scan but mythtv-setup then hangs again.

Greetings
