linux kernel/hardware forum

[anoobis]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good forum?

I'm having problems with a USB DVB stick and have narrowed it down to a particular function call in the USB part of the kernel. However, I know nothing about what it's trying to do, so need someone who does!

Cheers.

I would suggest asking first your linux distribution forums first,

Otherwise two popular distro is
Gentoo Forums :: Index
OR
Ubuntu Forums

But they are more likely to present solution the way their distro does it. In any case you may be able to figured out how to implement with your distro.

Then there is Google with the good error code most thing can be found.

Thanks for the pointers. The ubuntu forum looks fairly active so I'll give that a go. If I'm right, and it's the device driver/kernel, then it's distribution generic anyway.

Google isn't helpul in this case.

The original kernel development happened in the newsgroups. If anyone remembers them.

Not sure how are things going today there. Probably not that active now than 10 years ago.
