Here's the fix: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=d213ad08362909ab50fbd6568fcc9fd568268d29 I'm not sure what kernel version it went into, but it is certainly not in kernel v2.6.32. > Maybe I'll have to send the card back > as it could be broken or maybe there's just a little configuration I > can't get right? Nope. It's an ivtv driver bug in the way a DMA_TIMEOUT error condition is handled. The exact reason why you get DMA_TIMEOUT errors in the first place is a function of your system hardware and its configuration and use. Usually one of the PCI bridges is to blame. There is nothing that can usefully be done in the ivtv driver about that, since it is a system level issue. > I'd really appreciate any help :-) > $ uname -a > Linux media-server 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 7 21:35:22 UTC 2011 > x86_64 GNU/Linux Regards, Andy _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
