Summary: System hangs with nforce on MDK 9.1

Initial Comment:
The TVTime program causes that OS Mandrake 9.1 freezes
and it is not cotrollable.

tvtime runs with parameters as follows:

     tvtime -f europe -n PAL -v

 Notes:
   TVTime runs for about 5 minutes quite correctly
(also with excellent screen), but after those 5 minutes
 graphical and input devices freeze, such as console,
numlock, screen, mouse, ....

----------------------------------------------------

HW configuration:

    Tuner = Winfast TV 2000 XP
    Video Card = ATI Shaphire 9000 Pro

SW configuration:
    OS Mandrake 9.1
    TVTime  0.9.8.5 (source compiled)
    XFree 4.3
    KDE 3.1

Hi,
I also suffered from such fatal lockups with the following
config:

ASUS A7N8X (nForce2)
Typhoon TView RDS
linux-2.4.22 with it's build-in v4l/btty-functionality
-&gt; sporadic system-lockups during &quot;chanal-changes&quot; with
tvtime

Disabling the kernel's local apic support indeed seems to
&quot;fix&quot; this problem...

Thank you very much for the hint :-)

On the ivtv mailing list some issues with nforce boards came
up.  The solution for stability seemed to be to recompile
the kernel with local apic disabled, option 'nolapic' ??

If you have an nforce board and this helps any problems with
tvtime, please let me know.

Is there any update on this bug?  Do you still experience
crashes?

I don't really understand the problem enough to comment.  I
just figure it must be some sort of driver error since I
can't see how tvtime would cause it itself.

Hi,

yesterday I tried to run tvtime with the same configuration on 
MDK9.2 b2. The result was the same as on 9.1. I decided not 
to report the problem strightly to MandrakeSoft. Could you, 
please, formulate an idea where the problem is in your 
opinion? What do you think?

The board A7N8X is among the tested ones by Mandrake 
(http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/hard-details.php3?
F_TYPE=mother&amp;F_ID=6105), therefore I see real possibility 
to solve my problem.

Thanks, Libor

I have heard other reports of crashes with the ATI drivers
on nforce2 boards.  Apparently this is a &quot;known problem&quot;. 
Something I think to do with the broken agpgart support.

I found this page about the board:
http://home.t-online.de/home/Johannes.Deisenhofer/nforce2linux.html

Maybe we should email that person to see if they know more
about ATI drivers from X4.3 causing crashes.  NVIDIA cards
apparently work fine, I have met a few people on #mythtv who
say they are happily using nforce2 systems with NVIDIA cards.

Hi, I have just returned from my holiday. Now, to your 
questions. Yes, I am using nForce2 board. The type of the 
board is ASUS A7N8X Deluxe. Further, I am using drivers that 
were the part of the distribution. I am using NO my own 
drivers. With regards and awaiting your reply.

Do you happen to use an nForce2 board?

Please tell me your motherboard specs.

Also, are you using the binary drivers from ATI?

&gt; Thanks for appending the log.  Is the log you provide from
&gt; when it crashed?

This log could considered to be the log when tvtime crash,
but just at the moment of the crash. No message was generated.

&gt;  I'm curious to know if you were running as
&gt; root when this occured.

No, I was'nt running as root when this occured.

&gt; I'm curious, when it scans your channels, does it find any
&gt; active stations?

Yes, it finds all stations, same as xawtv.

I don't know of any system hangs as a result of 0.9.8.5. 
This is quite sad.  I wonder if it is a bug in the radeon
driver.

Why?
