Argh... can someone help me find the culprit?
Symptom:
I am fine as long as I don't watch live tv (I haven't tried recording
shows yet either...). When I watch live TV, it will sometimes work for
a minute or two then lock HARD (no ctl-alt-f1, no nothing). Most times,
it will lock just after the audio starts up.
Hardware:
NForce M/B:
Duron 700
Integrated GForceMX (32MB Shared Video Ram)
Integrated Sound (ALSA: intel8x0 driver)
Avermedia TV Studio (detected and works as a TvPhone '98)
Maxtor 120GB 2MB harddrive (manually turned DMA on...
doesn't seem to matter for stability & it makes a huge difference)
Software:
Mandrake 9.0: V4L, V4L2, xawtv, motv packages, KDE
nVidia binary drivers (from website yesterday)
Kernel RPM from
http://nekropolis.assetdisk.com/faq_list.php?subject=NVidia+Linux+Drivers
ALSA from CVS yesterday (I saw the note on mythtv's webpage...
should I have gone backwards instead?)
LIRC from CVS (today)
mythtv 0.7, and all the install stuff from the README-MDK file.
Things I've done:
1. Run xawtv
2. Run xmms w/Alsa output plugin (stereo, playing MP3s)
3. Run irw (remote OK)
Any ideas on what I should test? Unfortunately, I'm in a bit of a bind --
the motherboard
has only 1 slot!
TIA,
