I have tried to set up my computer to capture tv-programs with Hauppage bt878 based card. Everything seems ok, for a while. Then problems start. Programs start disappearing from my screen. Then it gets worse, 'Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address'. And shortly after this I got kernel panic. I have tried kernels 2.4.21 and 2.4.20, bttv versions 0.7.96, 0.7.106 and now 0.7.107. Similar results, everytime recording more than one hour will get whole system messed. Computer is AMD Duron 1.2G on Asus A7A226-E mobo. One friend of mine reported similar problems, also in Duron. And both computers run fine without bttv. Now I'm testing my card in AMD K6-333 computer. This far seems ok, but let's see. Unfortunately it's too slow, I get nearly 10% of frames dropped with ffmpegrec (from nvrec), so using that computer is not a solution to my problems. Anybody having any similar experiences? Here is some parts from dmesg: bttv: driver version 0.7.107 loaded bttv: using 32 buffers with 2080k (66560k total) for capture bttv: Host bridge is Acer Laboratories Inc.
