Error -12 is -ENOMEM (Out of Memory).
You can try this:
# cat /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes
and if it's not at least 16384 then
# echo 16384 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes
# cat /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes
Then
# modprobe -r cx18
# modprobe cx18
If you're OK at this point (no more -ENOMEM), add a line like this
to /etc/sysctl.conf:
vm.min_free_kbytes = 16384
If you still got the -ENOMEM, then try this:
# modporbe -r cx18
# modprobe cx18 enc_ts_buffers=0 enc_yuv_buffers=0 \
enc_vbi_buffers=0 enc_pcm_buffers=0 \
enc_mpg_buffers=1
If that doesn't work then you may want to do an
# lsmod | sort -n -k2
to see which kernel modules have a large size, and consider removing
them (modprobe -r) temporarily if you can, to reclaim some memory.
If all that doesn't work, I'd actually have to do research as to how to
monitor memory use (sar maybe?) and then reclaim it.
Regards,
Andy
