I'm using Gentoo kernel 2.6.13-r5 kernel on a box whose primary purpose
is MythTV. After upgrading to this kernel and reading about
periodically cleaning cruft from systems, I followed some advice about
doing something along the lines of 'emerge -depclean'. I thought
everything was fine but now I suspect I was wrong.
Just the other day, my machine (which has been functioning just fine for
several weeks) locked up. After rebooting, known good video files in
Myth freeze on the first frame. Audio plays just fine. Previous
experience has shown me that this is caused by ivtv not being happy.
For example, this behavior will occur after a kernel upgrade and then is
fixed by emerging ivtv again.
So I tried rebuilding ivtv but the problem persists. Thus I suspect I
deleted something I shouldn't have with 'emerge -depclean'. Any
suggestion on the best way to figure out what that "something" was and
get things running again?
Thanks,
Drew
