So does anyone---anyone at all---have -any- clues for me on why trying to record from multiple tuners crashes so badly for me? I've been dead in the water for a week on this problem, essentially, and it was only after many days of banging my head against the problem that I finally sent mail here. about it was yesterday. But nobody has (yet) offered any suggestions...
Should I have asked on the -dev lists instead? This smells of some sort of ivtv initialization error, but I don't know for sure. Can someone at least tell me if some of my questions make sense and might help? Like, how do I know if the various "alias" lines ever really got used by the kernel? (The initialization is complicated enough, with a zillion scripts running in various places, and several methods (some of which claim that they're obsolete), that it's not clear to me; maybe I should just jam 'em into modules.conf even though it says "don't edit me!" and see? Are there ordering dependencies?) What happens if they -aren't- seen? Why is it that the first 250 seems to be initialized w/different bitrates than the rest? Is that a clue? How do I fix it if so? Does it matter that IRQ's were duplicated when ivtv inited the cards? Does -anyone- have a working KnoppMyth R5A22 setup w/more than one PVR-250 in the same machine? Should I drop back to A16 and see if it's more stable? I see mail just today saying that A22 used an SVN version; is A16 considered generally more stable? [I'd -really- like to avoid the effort of building from scratch from some other distro if I can possibly just get this debugged; that's many, many hours for me since I've never tried it before---and I don't even know if -that- will work!] (Yes, I'll ask these questions on the KnoppMyth forums, too, but some of the answers there to previous problems [which turned out to be real bugs, not failure to follow installation instructions] were more of a cargo-cult "reinstall! reinstall! reinstall!" flavor as opposed to how to actually debug the situation...) Thanks!
