[Peter Royle <pete@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For the record, I've had some level of success by upgrading to the
current Natty dev build. The steps involved were:

- Run command: update-manager -d
- Click the upgrade button and perform the full upgrade
- Installed the proprietary NVidia driver for my video card (I guess YMMV)
- Undo all the previous hacks I had used to try to get this going, including:
-- I had a /lib/firmware/xc3028-v27.fw file which I previously extracted from somewhere else. I removed that file and installed the firmware via the command: sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-non-free
-- I made sure I did NOT have cx23885 listed in my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf as an artifact from previous attempts to get this working
-- I removed the line 'modprobe cx23885 card=11' from my /etc/rc.local file
- Restart

I now have Mythbox finding all channels and able to view live TV and
record. As a bonus I'm also able for the first time ever to use VDPAU
for playback so it's clearer than it's ever been :) (perhaps similar to
what Michael Cook is reporting).

Obviously Natty is a moving target right now so YYMV, but at least at
the moment it seems to be something worth trying if like me your only
alternative is an unusable Mythbox.

Title:
  Kernel Oops - unable to handle kernel paging request; EIP is at
  videobuf_dma_unmap+0x43/0xb0

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This was not an issue prior to the Mythbuntu 10.10 upgrade

  I did a fresh install of Mythbuntu 10.10 and now during mythtv-setup
  my DVB-C tuners hang the application during a channel scan. Prior to
  this I was on 10.04 with myth autobuilds 0.23.1 and it worked with no
  issues. On amd64 using 2 HVR-1250's

  syslog reports this during the hangup
