Very odd problem.. I've read many relevent posts and
no combination of noacpi mem=... or other boot flags.
work.
Some backgorund Boser HS1600 board with BT878
minipci.
I have two such systems.. one with a 800mhz curouse
the other with a 600mhz (and some other minor
differences). with 2.4.22 (and 2.4.20) things are fine
on the 800mhz board.. but on the 600mhz only overlay
works. (same capture card). There are differences in
the IRQ assignments and minor bios variations. (I can
post if anyone thinks the actual numbers would be
helpful)
Digging deeper I have found that on the machine that
is not working that the stat returned by
stat=btread(BT848_INT_STAT);
does not have any bits in the RISC area set (leading
nibble). By hacking the driver to that just before
the test for /* captured full frame */ I set the bit
(2<<28) in stat (only on every other call..)
then the capture shows the live data.
So the data is there, the fifo are getting i, and the
DMA can trasnfer it, but somehow because of the
subtle differences between the machines the RISC code
is not settig the bits saying that the frame is
complete.
It also does not seem to set astat&BT848_INT_VSYNC
My hack is not an acceptable long run (it thinks every
2 calls to the irq with astat&BT848_INT_RISC
is a new frame which is not always the case).
Any "insights" or even educated guesses what I should
be looking at would be appreciated.
