I have a 750MHZ Atahlon machine with a WinTV card in it. I have been using it to view tv using framebuffer TV for quite some time and have had no problems. This was using a 2.4.2 kernel that I compiled myself using Debian's kernel-pacakage mechanisim. When I compile a later (as in 2.4.16) kernel using the same config file, and try to run it. I get lots of hard lockups on the system while playing TV. The sond continuse to play, but the video is frozen, and I can't change sessions using the ALT keys, nor does the machien respond to a ping. Are ther any configuration changes I should be making here? If not can anyone sugest a mechanism for troubleshooting this? I hate to freeze this machine in time to an older kernel. -- Stan Brown stanb@xxxxxxxx 843-745-3154 Charleston SC. -- Windows 98: n. useless extension to a minor patch release for 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition. - (c) 2000 Stan Brown.
