We really do appreciate you opening this ticket to help improve
Mythbuntu, but it needs to be closed for a number of reasons. The
biggest one is that we have turned our efforts to a newer version. Could
you please verify if this issue still exists in the latest version?

Please do not let the closing of this ticket dissuade you from opening a
new ticket if this (or any other) problem occurs with the newer
versions.

Title:
  pvrusb kernel oops in Mythbuntu Lucid

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading my Mythbuntu setup (WinTV PVR USB2) from 9.10 to 10.04
  LTS, I get kernel oopses related to the pvrusb2 module when
  resuming/suspending/unloading it.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Load system with the pvrusb2 module loaded (no modprobe.conf settings)
  2. pvrusb2 is usable, I can watch TV
  3. Try to unload the moduel using modprobe -r pvrusb2
  Observable consequences:
  1. modprobe -r pvrusb2 hangs
  2. dmesg shows a kernel oops (appended)
  3. You can't remove the module. A cold reboot is required.

  Before (in 9.10) I had no problems with unloading/suspending the
  pvrusb2 module. Please disregard the tainted information in the call
  trace, as I'm using proprietary nvidia drivers.

  It is highly likely that the bug is caused by relatively harmless change in pvrusb2 related to printing messages, which was introduced in kernel 2.6.32. I checked the pvrusb2 mailing list and found a thread which describes an identical problem to mine with an explaination from a pvrusb2 developer:
  http://www.isely.net/pipermail/pvrusb2/2010-April/002835.html
