[pvrusb2] CPU Run pvrusb2-context

[JE Geiger]

2.6.34 is the version where I started having problems.  I had to update the
in kernel pvrusb2 driver to the isely.net version to get the problem to go
away.

The problem is that there is the driver that Mike keeps up to date, the v4l
stuff, then the kernel itself.  It appears that there is quite a time lag
between the problem being fixed in Mike's tree and it migrating up to the
real kernel at kernel.org that everyone pulls from.  I am not sure all of
the fixes ever made it to even the most current kernel 2.6.36....

Download the current version, make modules, make modules_install, reboot,
then modprobe and rmmod several times in a row.  It should fix the issues.

Sorry, forgotten to mention kernel version.

$ uname -a
Linux localhost2.local 2.6.34-gentoo-r6 #2 SMP PREEMPT Tue Oct 12 18:01:46
AKDT 2010 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

... using in kernel pvrusb2 modules.

As far as the main standard kernel version, Gentoo's Changelog does not
denote the kernel patch version it is at on this particular 2.6.34 version
-- or I'm completely missing finding it within the Changelog.


Is there someplace else I'm missing where the Linux kernel standard (patch)
version is located, or is this because Gentoo is entirely masking the
version with their kernel version naming scheme?
