I have a Mini PCI capture card with a BT878A chip plugged into an
embedded SBC with crusoe TM5400 and CT69000 video controller. I have
compiled a 2.4.18 kernel and xawtv 3.74. Transfer to the frame buffer is

fine, the image looks great on the screen. But when I try to do a jpeg
image capture I get this error.

v4l: timeout (got SIGALARM), hardware/driver problems?
ioctl: VIDEOSYNC(0): Interrupted system call

When I try to do an AVI video capture I get this error

ioctl: VIDEOCMCAPTURE(0,fmt=4,size=384x288): Device or resource busy

I set the verbose levels during insmod of bttv, and
dmesg shows the following

bttv0: irq loop=0 risc=0, bits: VSYNC HSYNC OFLOW RISCI* PPERR

I disabled everything I could in BIOS and compiled a kernel with
almost nothing in it, and I have no other drivers loaded except ide,
keyboard, mouse, video, and bttv. There are no IRQ conflicts.

Any idea how I can determine what resource is busy?
How can I look for DMA conflicts?
Should I try bttv 0.8.4 with the 2.4.19-pre8+ patch
and a bleeding edge kernel?

Any other ideas?

TIA,
Doug
