I am trying to get my video4linux application to work. It works on a desktop system running the Redhat distribution 7.1, however when I try it on an embedded system, also using Redhat 7.1, it hangs the kernel. The embedded system works otherwise as I have rebuilt the kernel and loaded several other applications. The embedded system does not have a display, I have only a serial console. The application captures live video, compresses it and feeds it to a client via TCP/IP. I rebuilt the kernel to include video4linux and bt848 support as modules. There were no errors on the build. The card is a generic bt848 known to work in the desktop system with card=0. Here is a recent result... [root@SaltRiver weiinc]# /sbin/insmod videodev Using /lib/modules/2.4.2-2-19.OCT.2001/kernel/drivers/media/video/videodev.o [root@SaltRiver weiinc]# /sbin/insmod i2c-core Using /lib/modules/2.4.2-2-19.OCT.2001/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.o [root@SaltRiver weiinc]# /sbin/insmod i2c-dev Using /lib/modules/2.4.2-2-19.OCT.2001/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-dev.o [root@SaltRiver weiinc]# /sbin/insmod i2c-algo-bit Using /lib/modules/2.4.2-2-19.OCT.2001/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-algo-bit.o [root@SaltRiver weiinc]# /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used by i2c-algo-bit 7264 0 (unused) i2c-dev 3616 0 (unused) i2c-core 13408 0 [i2c-algo-bit i2c-dev] videodev 3168 0 (unused) e100 44144 2 (autoclean) usb-uhci 20640 0 (unused) usbcore 48640 1 [usb-uhci] [root@SaltRiver weiinc]# /sbin/insmod bttv card=0 the computer hangs hard here requiring a power cycle... I will gladly provide any additional information that may help. Thanks for any help you can offer. Mike Westkamper
