That doesn't need to be a functional problem. When I connected my
panasonic the first time, I was totally confused by the countless debug
and
error messages in the syslog.

One problem seems to be the way some devices let you access the csr
(block, quadlets).
But AFAIK the csr is only of informational value. Someone told me if
gscanbus lists
my device (no matter if unknown or not), everything is ok.

When I had problems with dvgrab, the reason was to figure out the
correct order of
plugging in, switching on, loading modules (dont hotplug)
