Hi, thanks for the reply. I´m not sure yet, but perhaps I´ve found a solution. It seems, that a little overclocking solves the problem. I modified the FSB from 100Mhz to 103MHz. Since that, there was no problem, but I have to test this in detail the next days.
By the way: The same procedure solved the problem, that the machine sometimes freezed directly after power on before any bios output, which occurred only when the nova, was installed. I therefore switched to 103 MHz with the onboard jumpers, but set the bios settings to 100MHz. After that the problem was gone. Now I also set the Bios entry to 103MHz. The cpu now runs at 825MHz, which is hopefully not to fast.

I have a Hauppauge DVB-C full-featured card, and I'm using the same DVB drivers as you are. Every now and then the system locks up completely while insmodding/reloading the modules, and at the exact same position as in your case. After a reboot the modules usually (though not always) load up fine. The system has a ASUS TX97-XE motherboard with a 450 MHz K6-2 processor. > What I´m wondering about is, that this has never occured when powering on by > hand.

Unfortunately, I haven't found out what is going wrong there. However, I tried the card in my desktop computer (Abit BE-6 with Celeron 800) with the same drivers and couldn't get it to crash no matter how many times I tried reloading the drivers. So I'm guessing there's some hardware compatibility (or possibly power related?) issues there or maybe my card just isn't working correctly. I would gladly hear educated guesses on what's going wrong there. -- Mikko PGP public key fingerprint: 8FC9 D413 3A31 95B3 6BEE 709B 494A 3EFB 9D36 4342 -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject. -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
