    Boot Problem if using DVB card

    I Have the "My Cinema-P7131 Hybrid" TV card and Kubuntu Gutsy recognize almost completely the card so Analog TV (using tvtime) and FM radio (using Kradio) are absolutely OK.
    But in order to run Digital TV (DVB-T) it is necessary to load the firmware (dvb-fe-tda10046.fw)
    So I got that firmware (release 29) and copied it in /lib/firmware.
    After a worm reboot the firmware was recognized and the DVB-T TV was OK using Kaffeine.
    But here comes the problem.

    After a shutdown of the computer on the next cold boot the system wont load the normal grafic screen (X mode) giving the following message:

    Loading, please wait
    kinit: name_to_dev_t(/dev/disk/by-UUID/-number of my swap partition-) = sda6(8,6)
    kinit: trying to resumefrom /dev/disk/by-UUID/-number of my swap partition-
    kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot....
    Ubuntu 7.10 -my hostname- tty1
    -my_hostname- login

    So I can login in text mode or typing ctrl-alt-canc the system reboot normally in X mode and DVB-T is Ok.

    After a long search trying to solve the problem I discovered that removing the firmware fram /lib/firmware
    the system boot normally....but obviously no DVB-T TV.

    The system behaviour is the same copying the firmware in /lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-generic

    Do I have to do something different to tell the system to load the firmware
    or
    is it a system bug?

    Thanks a lot for any help
Working...
