I can NOT use preempt: if I enable it I can watch tv, but I cannot use dvbnet services. It is a long time I'm asking help to isolate this problem!
When I launch dvbnet the keyboard stop working (keypresses do nothing). I try to shut down the system using the mouse (in KDE), but after killing X the systen hangs. I can safely use sysrq to show messages and reboot, but I don't know how to write messages somewhere and I can't scroll/read them all (keyboard does not work except sysrq)! How can I help you helping me? Ciao Vincenzo.
