Ryan, This is really a question for the linux-media mailing list, so I've added it in cc -- please use REPLY-TO-ALL in your correspondence, so that anybody else that may have seen this issue can chime in with their advice, or perhaps they may benefit themselves simply by reading your problem description. Also, please remember that your response on the mailing list should appear below the quoted thread. Meanwhile, why would failure to load the LIRC module cause a problem on your board, causing a system hang... Sounds fishy to me -- are you sure about this? Have you tried deleting / blacklisting the module that you believe to be freezing your system? Have you tried moving your PCI card to another slot? Have you google'd for other users of your motherboard who might be suffering from similar issues? I updated the dtv1000s tree yesterday, with the intention of getting it merged into the master branch. Perhaps there is a bug in the new repository that is not present in the old repository? The current repository that you probably have already tested is located here: http://kernellabs.com/hg/~mkrufky/dtv1000s The only difference in the new tree when compared to the older tree, is that I've pulled in the latest v4l-dvb core changes from the master branch on linuxtv.org, and updated the DTV1000S patch to account for the latest board additions in the saa7134 driver. The dtv1000s support itself hasn't changed at all. To eliminate this as a possible cause, you can try testing the older tree, instead. The older tree that has already been tested by other users of both flavors of this dtv1000s board is located here: http://kernellabs.com/hg/~mkrufky/dtv1000s.old If the older repository works but the new one doesn't, that would indicate that there is a problem in the master v4l-dvb repository. If all else fails, try removing the other board that you have installed, and see if that is a factor in this problem Please test and report your findings back to the mailing list as a reply-to-all response in this thread. I hope this helps.
