CPIA-0.4.2 & SMP

[Jean-Michel Merliot]

Hi everybody,  
                
I tried driver version 0.4.2 on my SMP box.

It worked much much better than earlier version ( in fact, v3.1 worked pretty
nice ).

Gqcam worked perfectly.

A few annoying things :

  - I got a message in syslog ( repeated many times ) :

     cpia_pp.c(7921713):Negotiate2SetupPhase(326):nFault should be low at beginning

    That just makes the hard drive noisy ( linearly with frame rate ;-) )

More disturbing things :

The driver worked the first time in PIO mode, as I had forgotten to activate the IRQ in my
parport settings. After quitting gqcam, I've been unable to start it again, IRQ activated
or not. I unloaded the modules ( all of them), reloaded them, nothing made them work
again ;-).

That's what I got after activating the IRQ :

Nov 23 21:07:51 linux kernel: cpia.c(7964331):cpia_open(2545):cpia_open
Nov 23 21:07:51 linux kernel: cpia_pp.c(7964332):cpia_pp_open(1175):Found camera [0]
Nov 23 21:07:51 linux kernel: cpia_pp.c(7964332):cpia_pp_irq_handler(974):got IRQ(7) when
in CPIA_PHASE_idle
Nov 23 21:07:51 linux kernel: cpia_pp.c(7964332):cpia_pp_irq_handler(979):image skipped?
Nov 23 21:07:51 linux kernel: cpia.c(7964332):goto_low_power(2392):camera now in LOW
power state

When I tried to stgart gqcam again, I got an input/output error...

Hope this may help...

But I know this will be solved soon...
