Hello everybody,
I am experiencing a strange occasional effect when using v4l devices. My
whole system freezes from time to time leaving me no other solution than
a complete reset. Everything else works ok. The problem only happens
when watching TV (with xawtv or others) or recording TV (with mencoder,
nuvrec or others).
My system runs RedHat 8.0 on an AMD-K6-2. The kernel version is 2.4.19
with alsa sound drivers. The v4l device is a bttv card (Mauppauge
WINTV-PCI).
Any ideas what may be the cause for that? Thanks for any help.
Ralf
