I'm seeing total system freezes (no response to Alt+SysRq) when starting
xawtv with the videodev, bttv modules still loaded. If I wait long enough
(so that the modules get automatically unloaded) or if I manually unload
them I have no problems.
When the system freezes I get the following message (copied by hand):
v4l: oops: got sigalarm
ioctl VIDIOCSYNC: Interrupt system call
Is this a known issue? Any advice?
I'm running:
kernel 2.2.12 SMP
xawtv-2.46 (compiled in this box)
/etc/conf.modules:
alias char-major-81 bttv
options bttv card=11
post-install bttv modprobe -k tuner type=8
(I found this settings to work OK with my card- ixTV from ixmicro)
Thanks for any help,
Rui Sousa
P.S: I previously send this to the video4linux list wich
seems to be dead.
