One too many mornings

Spent the last four or five days debugging a problem where the new dvb cards woould stop streaming after a few seconds. They were getting duff interrupts and that was causing them to lock. It is the kind of problem that could take ages to fix or get a fix for. I was also only seeing it on new motherboards.

As a last resort downloaded the latest bios for the motherboard. What do you know? It solved the problem. This was an issue that in all likelyhood could not have been fixed at the kernel level. So I’m glad I only spent a few days at it.
