Hi all
I have had a problem with my PVR-500 which I was able to solve by
patching the kernel.
The messages about "[ivtv-users] WinTV PVR-500 stops recording after
some minutes (ivtv0: DMA TIMEOUT)" here on the list describe my
problem and Andy's solutions. Thanks again!
Unfortunately my system still has problems when recording.
It crashes from time to time and reboots automatically or just Freezes
after writing some error messages (I could take a photo of them if you'd
want to know them).
I didn't have much luck with the new 2.6.38 kernel that's why I patched
the 2.6.32 kernel.
But this didn't help as well.
I have found this here:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_PVR-500#Spontaneous_Reboots
But I have selected "No Forced Preemption (Server)" for "Preemption
model" so I think this should not be the problem.
Btw my mainboard is a Intel Desktop Board DP55KG.
I'm using ivtv-utils from debians repository:
$ dpkg -l | grep ivtv
ii ivtv-utils
1.4.1-1 utilities for use with the ivtv kernel driver
and these two firmware files:
v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw
v4l-cx25840.fw
And don't have any module options.
There's no "low latency" message in my syslog.
So I suppose this is not the problem?
I have an Intel Core i3 so I switched Hyperthreading of as written here
http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Troubleshooting#IVTV_may_cause_hangs_when_run_on_an_Intel_processor_with_Hyperthreading_enabled.
But this didn't help either.
I have absolutely no clue how to solve this problem and would appreciate
any help.
Here's the log from such an autopmatic reboot at 21:30:

Thanks in advance
