List: linux-video Subject: [video4linux] bttv crashes From: Gerd Knorr <kraxel () goldbach ! isdn ! cs ! tu-berlin ! de> Date: 1998-06-28 19:48:56 Hi * ! I have some trouble with bttv: Sometimes it crashes the box at insmod time (hard locked -- no ping, no console switching, just dead). Sometimes it works fine. Once the driver is loaded, everything seems to work fine. Any hint or idea how to track down such a problem? If it loads successful, I get this to the syslog: bttv0: Brooktree Bt848 (rev 17) bus: 0, devfn: 120, irq: 3, memory: 0xffbeb000. bttv1: Brooktree Bt848 (rev 18) bus: 0, devfn: 88, irq: 9, memory: 0xffbea000. My VGA card (matrox mystique) has IRQ 9 too (according to /proc/pci). Maybe this is a problem? Otherwise everything looks sane...

Therefore I suspect it is a problem with irq 9 (both bt848 and vga get it). And I have a stupid bios, I can't disable the irq for the vga board in the setup :-( Gerd ------------ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to majordomo@phunk.org with the line "unsubscribe video4linux" without the quotes in the body of the message.

Therefore I suspect it is a problem with irq 9 (both bt848 and vga > get it). And I have a stupid bios, I can't disable the irq for the vga > board in the setup :-( I also have 2 cards in a PentiumPro board (440FX) right now (after several months during which I did not test using more than one card any more. But nobody complained about any problems :-) I did quite some testing with it over the last weekend (regarding another unrelated little project) and experienced only 1 lockup during "insmod bttv.o" during the whole time although I did quite a lot of insmods. Both cards are using the same interrupt 11, additionally shared with an NCR810 SCSI controller. Once installed there are also no problems at all. (Ok, the memory throughput of the RIVA128 I have in this PC now seems to be not quite as good as the Matrox Millennium's. There are pixel errors already with 16bit with both cards displaying 922x576 PAL pictures.) I'll have to check if this also happens if the NCR gets its own interrupt. But as I said, I only had one lockup during the whole weekend and I was fooling around with the sources which also could have caused this. I am also running out of interrupts: DEC21440(9), Bt848 (2x11), NCR810 (11), 3Com 3c509(5), PS/2(12), SB16(7), Riva128(10, no sharing possible due to needed but missing interrupt handler).
