Hi all,
I have been using v4l2 through bttv 0.8.40 for 2 or 3 weeks, and it
worked like a charm ... until I tried today to lspci from a remote
computer when I had a xawtv (v3.72) running. My computer then freezed
and I could not even use any SysRq keys to cleanly shut it down.
lspci with the modules loaded and without xawtv works ok :

The last messages I could get from syslog were :
Jun 27 00:15:35 ares kernel: bttv0: amux: mode=-1 audio=128 signal=no mux=4/4 irq=yes
Jun 27 00:15:35 ares kernel: bttv0: amux: mode=-1 audio=128 signal=yes mux=4/4 irq=yes
Jun 27 00:15:44 ares kernel: bttv0: amux: mode=128 audio=128 signal=yes mux=4/4 irq=no
Jun 27 00:31:24 ares syslogd 1.4.1#10: restart.
and I had muted the sound just before the lspci.
If anyone wants more information, I will be glad to provide them.
This is not a critical problem (I just have to remember to no an
lspci).
On the remote computer, the strace lspci does not give much
information :
fred@ares:~$ strace lspci
execve("/bin/lspci", ["lspci"], [/* 18 vars */]) = 0
uname({sys="Linux", node="ares", ...}) = 0
brk(0) = 0x8050644
old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40014000
open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=40570, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 40570, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x40015000
close(3) = 0
and it hangs ...
I will try tomorrow to recompile the modules with debug information.
TIA
Fred
