Well, are there any theories as to why it would work flawlessly, then
after a hard lockup (due to what I think is a buggy V4L2 application),
that the cards no longer work? That was with 2.6.10, but after they
started failing I tried 2.6.11-rc5 and it doesn't work either. By the
way, I sent the wrong output; what I sent was from 2.6.11-rc5. The
2.6.10 output is below, and looks similar except for generating a
different error message.
Is there any chance that the lockup was related to an external event,
like a spike on the line to the video? Or any other outside event? It
seems like a very odd failure mode, but since I'm about to drop in a
bttv card and digitize about a hundred old tapes, I'd like to know.
Did you try the "card=" suggestion?
