A collegue of mine is using w98se with a NTFS driver and ISO images in order to allow files larger than 4GB. He has a small w2k partition as well for ripping the stuff. > > BSOD > IO system verification error in stream.sys, I assume? I've > had my share of those WDM errors ;). I can imagine why 5 > years is not enough to find a solution... It has something to do with a STREAM_REQUEST_BLOCK that has an IRP that is finished already. I'm currently reverse engineering the stream.sys using IDA Pro and the newest Hex-Rays decompiler to crack this m*ther <beep> > So for as far as we know, nobody got the Margi card to work > on a Libretto under Linux? I've had it running under 2.4 and currently under 2.6.22 or 23. Need to check. I've updated the driver from linuxtv.org. > By the way, isn't kernel 2.6 a bit on the heavy side for a > 110ct? Or is it still pretty fast? I've stripped it a bit... And it is working as I can see pretty fast even with X windows which I need anyway. The linux port also contains the full load of Zoomed Video support as well. Which means that before I got again burned with the stream.sys I reversed engineered the Video Port part of the Neomagic driver. When I get the time (which is hard... 4 kids) I'll post my findings... I'm using ripped DVD's to the HD (120Gb currently...) to do dvd playback. I'll prepare in the near future a patch for 2.6 Yes, I'm currently probably the only one who has the libretto with linux and margi dvd-to-go with Zoomed Video. And I'll have to thank a lot of people. Avi.
