[mythtv-users] Hard crash, where to begin?

[Steve Davidson]

Sorry, I meant btaudio - couldn't remember the project name.  Too many
projects, too little memory...<g>

Sounds like you have the same chipset that I have.  When I was running
the OSS drivers and tried to record or watch live tv, my machine would
lock up hard - power switch held in for 5 secs would not even power
down.  Building and installing the Alsa drivers fixed the problem in my
case: YMMV.

FWIW, here's my LSPCI dump:

00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8363/8365 [KT133/KM133]

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV25 [GeForce4 Ti
4200] (rev a3)

A word of warning: the Alsa drivers compiled cleanly, but I got a ton of
missing dependency warnings when I tried to run; If you experience this
behavior, you need to run "touch include/linux/workqueue.h" within the
alsa-driver-xxx directory AFTER running ./configure but before executing
build.

BTW, I have not yet tried btaudio, as Alsa is working fine for me.

HTH,

Steve
