The machine locks up hard when I do "modprobe bttv ..." with any arguments
any version, any kernel. When I say hard, it is on a LAN, and does not
answer to ping. There are no messages of any kind.
tried stock redhat 7.3 kernel. then tried upgrading to the latest and
greatest everything
(2.4.19, v4l2, bttv-0.8.45) no change.
The card is an "ATI TV Wonder" and has the following stuff:
-- Conexant Fusion 878A E197817-1 chip.
-- Phillips NTSC tuner.
-- Micronas MSP3445G 88 1162JS LHX chip.
At first there was IRQ sharing. Fixed that, there is none now.
Have tried various options for the driver... most glorious being
something like:
options bttv card=63 tuner=2 triton1=1 vsfx=1 no_overlay=1
irq_debug=2 bttv_debug=1
The machine contains an AGP 4X Matrox G400 display card,
and SBLive OEM version card, and a 3Com 905B 100 BaseT.
To check for card conflicts I removed the sound and network cards,
and reproduced the problem exactly. so I set the BIOS to halt on "no
errors" installed the ethernet card, and removed the display adaptor.
no change, so it does not look like a conflict with another card, but
instead something to do with the ASUS motherboard?
I do not have a machine readily available to act as a serial console.
I have tried building a kernel with the SGI kdb, but that kernel does
not boot.
Ideas?
