How about after the cold boot? How did it behave? If memory is an issue, then I can sort of see why all that weird behavior happened. But after a fresh cold boot, by using ivtv_dynbuf=0 it'll "reserve" its memory right at boot when the module is loaded, so there'll definitely be free memory available. ~Lou
