OK, I don't have a habit of posting much unless I have tried about
everything I can come up with. Roughly sketched, my system has become
very unstable and is subject to spontaneous reboots or lock-ups. The
bright side is that there seems to be a pattern X(
Anyway, the obligatory system information details first:
Debian/Sid
2.4.19-xfs-v4l2 (*)
bttv 0.9.6 (*)
xserver-xfree86 4.2.1-6 (*)
xawtv 3.82
zapping 0.6.6-1 (*)
nvidia drivers 1.0.4191 (*)
gcc/g++ 3.2.3-0pre5
nvrec 20030310-2 (*)
(*) rebuilt on system, as far as that is possible of course for nvidia
with the 3.2 compiler.
Anyway, the situation is as follows:
1. I boot and start X
2. I start zapping, and start opening menus (for loading and scanning
channels). Sometimes, 'something' goes wrong, and the system either
reboots or just locks
3. Same thing happened when switching mplayer to fullscreen (or just
starting it while zapping was on).
4. Obviously, I considered xawtv, the problem is there that nvrec
switches back to V4L1 instead of V4L2 when recording.
This started somewhere last week when I did a major upgrade. The first
signs I had was when nvrec (ffmpegrec) produced jerky files. I rebuilt
the kernel with the 3.2 compiler (the system was built the 'old' 2.95
compiler), since I assumed that a number of 3.2 upgraded libraries were
causing this somehow. With the new kernel, recording was smooth.
Then the crashes occurred. So I started rebuilding the packages that
could cause it (X this night, zapping, ...). Still no effect. I have
scanned some logs and basically could not find anything significant.
Are there any pointer as to what might be the cause of this?
