Hi strange things happen. I have a Hauppauge WinTV Theater on an Asus A7M266 Board running Kernel 2.4.7 . Until yesterday, everything went fine. But after moving my stuff into a new PC case, also adding a IDE hard disk, CD-ROM and a SCSI CD-RW, I get errors from my tv card drivers looking like this: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 i2c-core.o: i2c core module i2c-algo-bit.o: i2c bit algorithm module bttv: driver version 0.7.57 loaded bttv: using 2 buffers with 2080k (4160k total) for capture bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).

But those are the only changes which happened. After encountering these error messages, I unplugged the new drives in an attempt to restore the former situation, but the errors kept going. Remarkably, the sound vanishes only now and again, and not everytime the driver says it should. Also, the error messages come to a halt after some time watching the same channel, but they reappear on channel switching. The really frightening thing is: when I try to remove the tv card modules, my machine freezes badly with kernel panic. I tried this once and never again since. Does anyone have a clue what I can do to get my configuration straight ? Because I haven't. If you need more info (PCI listings etc.) just give me a note. Thanks for taking the time Gunther
