Hello all, Last week i faced the following problem: I have my tv application, based on zapping and a Flyvideo 98 FM tv board, that runs ok in my machine with a Celeron 700 MHz processor. I did an upgrade for a 900 MHz celeron. The tv application started to crash.
Could you be a bit more precise - does just the application crash, or does the system hang?
After a lot of time looking for answers I realised that this happened because the system bus (communication through memories and main processor) has chaged from 66 MHz to 100 MHz. I forced the system bus to come back to 66 MHz in the bios (and as side-effect the 900 MHz Celeron turned ou to be a 600 MHz Celeron) and things came back to normallity. Has anyone a hint on how to make it work in the 100 MHz bus? Does it make sense at all? Thanks for helps.
I have the suspicion you have a board based on the bx chipset? I did have the same problem some time ago when I changed from a Celeron 333 to a Celeron 850, and fixed it by increasing the pci latency timer. But, in the most recent kernels, it doesn't help, it still lock ups from time to time. Changing to bttv-0.8.31 fixed the problem. (The above answer makes only sense if you experience hangs, otherwise if just the app crashes it doesn't make a lot of sense.)
