Hi Michael, I'm writing a driver for a new digital card based on the Nebula code. Its a BT878 based card. I've been slowed down by hard locks when inserting the bttv.o module on a 2.4.21 kernel but I may have a fix.
I'm very keen to get the Nebula code included, as well as mine. This problem with preemption, does it have to be tested in the 2.6.0-test1 kernel or will the 2.4.21 do?
