** Description changed: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.17 Using: Linux 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP i686 GNU/Linux Edgy-RC1 MEncoder 2:0.99+1.0pre8-0ubuntu8 - listing this ad an Edgy problem not an mencoder problem due to the fact that the crash is so bad I can not even use ctrl-alt-sysRq keys to shut the system down somewhat gracefully. + listing this as an kernel problem not an mencoder problem due to the fact that the crash is so bad I can not even use ctrl-alt-sysRq keys to shut the system down somewhat gracefully. how to reproduce use mencoder to record from BT878 card After a varying amount of time system will be totally frozen information Gleened so far: last crash was proceeded by the syslog spitting out the following info on all open terms. message from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: CPU 0 message from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: EIP: is at freeblock +0x7d/0x100 message from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: EAX: cacdc9000 EBX: dd956fa0 ECX: c5555000 EDX: bfbdbcbc message from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ESI: c555414 EDI: dd959c40 EBP: dd95709 ESP: dd911efc message from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: DS: 007b ES: 007b SS: 0068 Sorry for the slightly truncated nature of the above had to write it down by hand before hitting the reset button. Checked /var/log/syslog.log and the error messages do not appear there. what is almost universally in my logs just prior to the crash is something akin to: [17182685.328000] usb 1-6.2: reset low speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 Strangely messages similar to this have persisted even though I unplugged all low speed usb devices after seeing it the first few times and thinking it might be a hardware problem. will now try removing the usb 2.0 hub just to be sure it is not the problem. But doubt it is the hub alone as the crash only occurs while recording If you require more info. Or can tell me how to get a core.dump or backtrace out of such a brutal crash I'm all ears. will also try using ffmpeg to record and see if it crashes there too.
