Hi there, I want to hear if anybody can shed some light on this seemingly strange behaviour: I run bttv, xawtv plain vanilla SuSE 7.3 style. It works fine. (I had some problems which I thought had to do with my GF3 graphics card and Nvidia drivers, but I'm not so sure anymore. Anyway, I think that one is gone, at least I haven't seen it since I started to insmod bttv and friends in boot.local.) The funny thing is this: I have been experimenting a bit with a crypted partition, on which I run reiserfs, and which I start and stop with '/etc/init.d/boot.crypto start' and similar for stopping. Now, whenever this is "online", xawtv just shows a blank screen and no sound, otherwise it works just fine! I thought maybe something strange had happened with the internals of my machine, and rebooted. Same thing. Something strange happened to the loaded modules? A diff of lsmod before and after 'crypto start' shows just this, as expected: 2c2 < loop_fish2 8832 1 --- > loop_fish2 8832 0 44c44 < reiserfs 147632 3 --- > reiserfs 147632 2 This is 100% (to date) reproducible. Any ideas? J.O.
