This happened to me some time ago (more than a year), but I was wondering if you could help me to know what happened to my TV card. This was an analog TV card (bt878) connected to a PCI slot. It worked ok until one day it stopped working. This is from /var/log/messages when it worked ok: kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 kernel: bttv: driver version 0.9.15 loaded kernel: bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture kernel: bttv: Host bridge needs ETBF enabled. kernel: bttv: Host bridge needs VSFX enabled. kernel: bttv: Bt8xx card found (0). kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:0c.0[A] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10 kernel: bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:00:0c.0, irq: 10, latency: 64, mmio: 0xdbe00000 bttv0: using: Askey CPH061/ BESTBUY Easy TV (bt878) [card=62,insmod option] One day, it seems after I connected a USB bluetooth adapter to the computer, a lot of error messages appeared in the log: kernel: Bluetooth: HCI USB driver ver 2.7 kernel: usbcore: registered new driver hci_usb hcid[5403]: HCI dev 0 registered hcid[5403]: HCI dev 0 up hcid[5403]: Starting security manager 0 sdpd[9918]: init_server: binding L2CAP socket: Address already in use sdpd[9918]: main: Server initialization failed kernel: Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.3 kernel: Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized kernel: Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized kernel: bttv0: IRQ lockup, cleared int mask [bits: HSYNC* PPERR] last message repeated 776 times kernel: bttv0: IRQ lockup, cleared int mask [bits: HSYNC* PPERR] last message repeated 2820 times kernel: bttv0: IRQ lockup, cleared int mask [bits: VSYNC HSYNC* PPERR] kernel: bttv0: IRQ lockup, cleared int mask [bits: HSYNC* PPERR] last message repeated 986 times kernel: bttv0: IRQ lockup, cleared int mask [bits: HSYNC* PPERR] last message repeated 2302 times kernel: bttv0: IRQ lockup, cleared int mask [bits: HSYNC* PPERR] last message repeated 769 times kernel: bttv0: IRQ lockup, cleared int mask [bits: HSYNC* PPERR] last message repeated 578 times After a reboot this appeared in /var/log/messages: kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 kernel: bttv: driver version 0.9.15 loaded kernel: bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture kernel: bttv: Host bridge needs ETBF enabled. kernel: bttv: Host bridge needs VSFX enabled. kernel: bttv: Bt8xx card found (0). kernel: PCI: Device 0000:00:0c.0 not available because of resource collisions kernel: bttv0: Can't enable device. kernel: bttv: probe of 0000:00:0c.0 failed with error -5 After that the card is not recognized anymore: kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 kernel: bttv: driver version 0.9.15 loaded kernel: bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture kernel: bttv: Host bridge needs ETBF enabled. kernel: bttv: Host bridge needs VSFX enabled. On the other hand, Windows on startup detected new hardware (a multimedia device) but it wasn't able to configure it. (So in the end I removed the card from the computer) What could happen? Did it break? Maybe the bios disabled for some reason? Another strange thing: my computer has two free PCI slots. In the first one (originally used by a soft modem) this TV card never worked, it wasn't recognized at all (by both linux and windows). In the 2nd slot it worked, until the day it stopped working. -- RVM _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
