Problems with Technisat SkyStar2

Hello Arch community,

since i upgraded my ram i have some trouble with my SkyStar2 dvb-s card.
I can't watch tv or radio over this card but with my old 1 gb kit i can it?
I can't really describe this problem. You must see it

Only i can say: It's looks like a "no signal" error.

System configuration:
AMD ATHLON64 X2 4000+
8 GB DDR2-RAM PC6400 (Team Elite, 4x 2 GB)
Technisat SkyStar2 DVB-S
Arch Linux (last update was today) x86_64

output from 'dmesg | grep b2c2':

b2c2-flexcop: B2C2 FlexcopII/II(b)/III digital TV receiver chip loaded successfully
b2c2_flexcop_pci 0000:02:09.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LNKB] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
b2c2-flexcop: MAC address = 00:d0:d7:0b:60:0b
b2c2-flexcop: i2c master_xfer failed
b2c2-flexcop: i2c master_xfer failed
b2c2-flexcop: found 'ST STV0299 DVB-S' .
b2c2-flexcop: initialization of 'Sky2PC/SkyStar 2 DVB-S' at the 'PCI' bus controlled by a 'FlexCopIIb' complete

output from 'dmesg | grep DVB':

DVB: registering new adapter (FlexCop Digital TV device)
b2c2-flexcop: found 'ST STV0299 DVB-S' .
DVB: registering frontend 0 (ST STV0299 DVB-S)...
b2c2-flexcop: initialization of 'Sky2PC/SkyStar 2 DVB-S' at the 'PCI' bus controlled by a 'FlexCopIIb' complete

If you need more information, write me

Sorry for my very bad english - i can read english text but writing english text is very bad

Re: Problems with Technisat SkyStar2

i think this is kernel bug because i found a message in the mailing list from linuxtv.org.

Now i will patch the original Kernel from arch and recompile and test ist.

I booted Ubuntu 8.10 again from LiveCD and checked the dmesg output.
Under Ubuntu i have the same error message. I think this is only a issue in archlinux.
