Hauppauge WinTV-QuadHD-DVB-T2 Fails to be found after a certain amount of time #123

Open thonatron opened 3 years ago

thonatron commented 3 years ago

Ive been struggling to to get this card working for about a week now, from a cold boot it works fine for a while then eventually it silently disappears from the computer. A warm reboot of the computer leaves the card not found on the next boot, but the pcie splitter/bridge is still seen, just nothing that is attached to it i have

cat /etc/modprobe.d/quadhd.conf 
options cx23885 dma_reset_workaround=2

ive tried setting this to 0 or 2 and letting the driver handle it automatically but at some point it always seams to crash out and have no tuners found. Dmesg gives nothing useful, nothing about why the card just disappears, i must need debugging enabled somewhere. The card is in a gen2 pciex4 slot, (i cant set it gen1), i could try the pcie3 slots but i have a nvme drive and a hba card in them so its not realistic option to move it to one of those slots I moved over to this kernel from the default one in ubuntu 20.04LTS due to the errors about mpeg risc op code that kept crashing the card. The main use of the card is with mythtv, The problem usually starts with a failure to get a signal lock, but interestingly if i switch to a different tuner pair from (1,2) -> (3,4) or the other way, that tuner is usually working, until it doesnt work, then i cant get a signal at all. Then to server need at cold start like mentioned above. I think i have the intel Vt-d extensions enabled as this computer is going to be running some vms once i get this card and mythtv playing nice, so id rather not have to disable those

Now something different happens, i thought id try to see what bios options are available, rebooted spammed F2 to enter Bios over ipmi, and the board just hangs at entering setup. Rebooted and this time let it fully boot while i figure out whats going on with entering setup, and both cards are back working, didnt require a cold boot. So thinking that the card is somehow stopping me entering the bios, i reboot again and im now in the bios. So crashed card -> reboot -> no bios not crashed card -> reboot -> bios crashed card -> reboot -> reboot whilst rebooting -> card fine

Ive found a setting in bios about logging pcie errors to either the bios or ipmi so ill see how that works out

Have you tested the card under Windows to see if exhibit any of the same problem by using PiP mode or with SageTV where you can test each of the 4 tuner.

thonatron commented 3 years ago

Unfortunately i don't have any windows machines, but mythtv does allow me to switch tuners, havent tried PiP yet. My bios pcie debugging option did bring some good(?) news

Event ID | Time Stamp | Sensor Name | Sensor Type | Description

At least i now have a timestamp of what time each one error-ed out, not that i know what it means yet. At 03:58 and 08:27 mythtv wasnt doing anything to do with tuning, the cards are set to open on demand

dmesg still doesnt give anything which is not surprising since since it still thinks the cards are there

Ive put in a request with supermicro about the PCI SERR to try and find out what that means, hopefully ill get some good news but the board is now EOL. Im going to see if i can put the card in another computer, but this might take a bit of time

shspvr commented 3 years ago

Keep in mind that consumer TV tuner where never meant for server system I don't know if this well help but in the bios try disable PCI SERR Maybe when brad come back in he will have some better suggestion for you.

thonatron commented 3 years ago

ive got in in one of the PCIE3x8 slots now, it wasnt visible, in fact i couldnt get in to the bios, until i removed it and set the slot to gen1. Now i can get in the bios see the card and linux can see the card, ill just have to wait to see if it falls again, but its not ideal as my hba is in a slower PCIE2x4 slot, luckily ive only got 4 HDD attached to it at the moment. The card is described as

PCI bridge: Pericom Semiconductor PI7C9X2G304 EL/SL PCIe2 3-Port/4-Lane Packet Switch (rev 05)

which im thinking means its PCIe2 so it should work fine in a gen3 slot unless im missing something really obvious

b-rad-NDi commented 3 years ago

If it's pcie2 it will be perfectly fine in a pcie3 slot. On intel systems, for whatever strange reason, their implementation of pcie requires to be set to gen1. The card should continue to work without issue for you that way.

thonatron commented 3 years ago

is there anyway to make it work in the pcie2 slot if i cant set the gen on the slot, ive only got the option to set gen on the 2 pcie3 slots

b-rad-NDi commented 3 years ago

This is specifically an Intel issue in this regard. I don't know what they are doing electrically or systematically to make the boards behave as such. As you've seen when the pcie chipset becomes unhappy the board just disappears. This is not a driver issue, but some inherent issue in the Intel chipset.

thonatron commented 3 years ago

little update, it eventually managed to error out again, The log in the ipmi did come up with about 15 of the serr# errors before it did drop off so i guess thats an improvement of sorts. Supermicro got back to me, but as the board is EOL not a lot could be done. In the original manual it mentions Serr and perr disable, but the latest bios doesn't have those options, supermicro provided me with some old bios files but the i got to a point where the m.2 drive in a pcie caddy wasn't recognized in so it wouldn't boot for me. For the moment ive pulled the card, looking to test it in this desktop, but the pciex1 slot is blocked by a graphics card. so for now it looks like supermicro x10slm-f and a quadhd is a no go.
