There are a few known buggy ones between 0.8.33 + 0.8.45 (0.8.34+5 for example, see the changelog). Which versions exactly did you test? Which kernel? Please don't switch *both* kernel+bttv versions, better use the old 2.4.17 with current bttv drivers for debugging this one. > Sometimes there is no messages on the console and sometimes there > are messages like the following: > btaudio: buffer overrun > OFLOW HLOCK VPRES RISCI > bttv2: timeout: risc=065e201c, bits: VSYNC HSYNC OFLOW HLOCK VPRES RISCI > <6>bttv1: timeout: risc=0663201c, bits: VSYNC HSYNC OFLOW HLOCK VPRES RISCI > bttv0: timeout: risc=066d101c, bits: VSYNC HSYNC OFLOW HLOCK VPRES RISCI Hmm, multiple bttv cards running in timeouts at the same time. Looks like some problem with the PCI bus ... Does this happen without btaudio too? > 2-When unloading the bttv modules I sometimes get the following panic.
