It seems that when I pipe through gzip and bzip as you did, I don't see
any reboots. However, when I access it normally, it reboots
usually in less than a minute, and memory didn't seem to decrease
terribly. However, behaviour I observed using an older version of
ivtv DID act the way you're describing. Can you try the following
two things and see if either gives you any different results?:<br>
<br>
1. disable motherboard's on-board ethernet (saw this on the ivtv-devel)<br>
2. use latest ivtv 0.3.9 drivers<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
