Try disabling cpu frequency scaling. Look for daemons like cpuspeedy and powernowd and disable them. This is most likely the cause of this problem. This will hopefully be reduced to a minimum when the rewritten driver comes out that Hans has been working on. You can try ivtv svn trunk now but you will need a kernel >=2.6.18 Greets Sander > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/wisniewski/firmware# dmesg | tac | >> sed -n '/=\ \ END INIT IVTV\ \ =/,/= START INIT IVTV =/p; >> /= START INIT IVTV =/q' | >> tac > [ 25.654983] ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV > ==================== > [ 25.654987] ivtv: version 0.7.0 (tagged release) loading > [ 25.654989] ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.17-10-generic SMP mod_unload > gcc-4.1 > [ 25.654991] ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info > between > [ 25.654993] ivtv: the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines, along > with > [ 25.654995] ivtv: any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users > mailinglist. > [ 25.681139] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. > [ 25.708588] saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.14 loaded > [ 25.854258] hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC883, trying auto-probe from > BIOS... > [ 26.070379] ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 card (cx23416 > based) > [ 26.070874] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKB] enabled at IRQ 19 > [ 26.070879] GSI 20 sharing vector 0x62 and IRQ 20 > [ 26.070885] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:01.0[A] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 19 > (level, low) -> IRQ 98 > [ 26.150025] tveeprom 0-0050: Hauppauge model 26132, rev F0B2, serial# > 9405859 > [ 26.150030] tveeprom 0-0050: tuner model is TCL M2523_5N_E (idx 112, > type > 50) > [ 26.150032] tveeprom 0-0050: TV standards NTSC(M) (eeprom 0x08) > [ 26.150035] tveeprom 0-0050: audio processor is CX25841 (idx 35) > [ 26.150037] tveeprom 0-0050: decoder processor is CX25841 (idx 28) > [ 26.150039] tveeprom 0-0050: has no radio, has IR remote > [ 26.206441] tuner 0-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #0) > [ 26.328100] NET: Registered protocol family 17 > [ 26.376904] cx25840 0-0044: cx25841-23 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #0) > [ 29.191223] cx25840 0-0044: loaded v4l-cx25840.fw firmware (16382 bytes) > [ 29.284018] wm8775 0-001b: chip found @ 0x36 (ivtv i2c driver #0) > [ 29.479555] NET: Registered protocol family 10 > [ 29.479655] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions > [ 29.479999] IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver > [ 29.945446] ivtv0: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (262144 bytes) > [ 30.161916] ivtv0: Encoder revision: 0x02050032 > [ 30.161964] ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder MPEG stream: 128 x 32768 buffers > (4096KB total) > [ 30.162137] ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder YUV stream: 194 x 10800 buffers > (2048KB total) > [ 30.162325] ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder VBI stream: 120 x 17472 buffers > (2048KB total) > [ 30.162465] ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder PCM audio stream: 455 x 4608 > buffers (2048KB total) > [ 30.162915] tuner 0-0061: type set to 50 (TCL 2002N) > [ 30.261564] ivtv0: Initialized Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150, card #0 > [ 30.262063] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNEB] enabled at IRQ 18 > [ 30.262068] GSI 21 sharing vector 0x6A and IRQ 21 > [ 30.262074] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:07:00.0[A] -> Link [LNEB] -> GSI 18 > (level, low) -> IRQ 106 > [ 30.262085] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:07:00.0 to 64 > [ 30.262304] NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86_64 Kernel Module 1.0-8776 > Mon Oct 16 21:53:43 PDT 2006 > [ 30.263924] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] enabled at IRQ 17 > [ 30.263932] GSI 22 sharing vector 0x72 and IRQ 22 > [ 30.263939] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 17 > (level, low) -> IRQ 114 > [ 30.263947] saa7133[0]: found at 0000:01:00.0, rev: 240, irq: 114, > latency: 64, mmio: 0xfbfff800 > [ 30.263952] saa7133[0]: subsystem: 17de:7350, board: Kworld ATSC110 > [card=90,autodetected] > [ 30.263968] saa7133[0]: board init: gpio is 100 > [ 30.273661] ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV > ==================== > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > ivtv-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
