I'm not so sure about that (see below), but you have found a nasty problem with your system I think. > Without trying to use my capture card at all, every time I access the > other SATA disk in my system, the cx88 driver spits out a HORRENDOUS > number of weird messages, filling my system logs so fast that after > two days, I'd used over 6 GB just in the few logs that sysklogd > generates. Every time the sata controller generates an interrupt, the kernel calls the IRQ handler routines sharing that interrupt. Your cx88 driver *always* thinks it has interrupts to service - but it actually doesn't. Note how many of the dumped registers are '0xffffffff' including the 'irq aud' interrupt status register: > Nov 21 01:59:12 rainbird kernel: cx88[0]: irq aud [0xffffffff] dn_risci1* up_risci1* rds_dn_risc1* 3* dn_risci2* up_risci2* rds_dn_risc2* 7* dnf_of* upf_uf* rds_dnf_uf* 11* dn_sync* up_sync* rds_dn_sync* 15* opc_err* par_err* rip_err* pci_abort* ber_irq* mchg_irq* 22* 23* 24* 25* 26* 27* 28* 29* 30* 31* A 0xffffffff is likely not a real interrupt status, but a PCI bus read error, for which the PCI-PCI bridge or Host-PCI bridge returns the all ones value. The interrupt handler sees every possible interrupt that it could be interested in as having occurred and likely tries to process them. The further PCI MMIO accesses are also failing as evinced by all the 0xffffffff values being dumped. > My only solution so far is to unload the cx88 driver modules.

Increasing PCI bus latency timers of devices and PCI bridges may help. Look for bridges and devices that are declaring Master or Target Aborts or SERR or PERR in lspci. That may narrow down the culprits. You may wish to try pulling out the cards, blowing the dust out, reseating the cards, and hoping for the best. To get the SATA controller and the cx88 off the same IRQ line, the easiest thing to do is move the cx88 card over to another slot. Good luck. Regards, Andy > Log excerpt below.
