Closed saturn-hh closed 6 years ago

saturn-hh commented 6 years ago

Actually with the current sources I have problems with using DVB-Sticks on the USB bus. I get continuity errors and the stick is unusable. Fortunatly this error is allready known and the following patch is available:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/armbian/build/master/patch/kernel/sunxi-next/linux-999-revert-softirq-let-ksoftirqd-do-its-job.patch The patch reverts a patch and is solving this issue.

Please aplay the patch to the sources for odroid xu4!

I'm not sure this is the right thing to do, this needs to be fixed upstream.

In the meantime you can use this patch and build your own kernel, while not ideal it is the proper thing.
