Public bug reported: My DVB-S PCI card "PixelView DTV2000" (based on Bt878 chip, Twinhan clone) freezes the system when loading kernel. Without option "quiet splash" kernel print:
"[ ] bttv: driver version 0.9.17 load [ ] bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture [ ] bttv: Bt8xx card found (0)" And kernel freeze on this point... :-((( Only if rename the file /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/bt8xx.ko, I can load system to run lspci with my "PixelView DTV2000" card. # uname -a Linux troosh-desktop 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 22:56:21 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux 01:01.0 Multimedia video controller [0400]: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture [109e:036e] (rev 11) 01:01.1 Multimedia controller [0480]: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture [109e:0878] (rev 11) Deadloop is bad choice if kernel module can't detect card. Why can't check timeout in kernel module? Possible also need patch from http://osdir.com/ml/suse.amd64/2005-04/msg00132.html P.S. I'm test with Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" Development Releases Alpha 5 (2.6.27 kernel).
