Fwd: PVR-350 decoder freezing on CentOS 5.3

Post #1 of 6 (3756 views)

I'm re-sending this email as per the instructions on the "asking for
help" page on the ivtvdriver wiki. The freezes persist and the WAF is
plummeting, unfortunately.

Any advice is appreciated.

Subject: PVR-350 decoder freezing on CentOS 5.3
To: User discussion about IVTV <ivtv-users@ivtvdriver.org>

A couple of months ago I moved from Fedora 8 to CentOS 5. Since the
move I have had occasional freezing of the PVR-350 decoder on MythTV.
I'm running the xdriver, so after the freeze, I need to reboot the
machine to get X working again. The obvious steps seem to have been
taken, and I'm at a loss as to how to continue troubleshooting. Any
advice would be appreciated.

The hardware:

P4 2.8Ghz
1.2GB RAM
25GB system disk
320Gb recordings disk

Disabled the cpuspeed daemon:

cpuspeed 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off

Disabled hyperthreading:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet noht

ivtv-0.10.6 is really, really old. I no longer provide support for it.
You have two options: 1) upgrade to a newer kernel, I recommend 2.6.26 or up.
2) install the v4l-dvb drivers (the 'bleeding edge' drivers as mentioned on
ivtv-drivers.org). I believe these will compile for 2.6.18, but I'm not 100%
certain.

Note that the v4l-dvb repository may have some compilation problems since a
lot of merge work is ongoing to prepare for the next linux kernel. It should
be stable again in a week or two.

Hans

Hi Hans,

I upgraded to the bleeding edge v4l-dvb driver which seems to be version 1.4.1:
ivtv: Start initialization, version 1.4.1

After about 20 minutes of playback the machine hard froze without any
error messages in the mythfrontend.log or /var/log/messages.

Any tips on further troubleshooting?

Thanks!

Brr, hard to say. One is to check /proc/interrupts and see if ivtv is sharing
interrupts with another driver. If that other driver is buggy, then that may
cause problems. You can try to move the card to another slot.

Another is to upgrade to a newer kernel.

The problem is that I haven't seen such issues for ages now. What kernel
were you running under Fedora 8? Was that also 2.6.18?

Hans

ivtv0 (The PVR-350) is not sharing any interrupts.

Hans,

I was running 2.6.2[?] - whatever the latest fedora kernel was when it went EOL.

Well, the good news is that since the initial freeze after the upgrade
to ivtv 1.4.1, the machine has been rock solid - no freezes at all.
Thanks for your suggestion to upgrade to the v4l bleeding, it seems to
have worked.

Hoorah!

I wouldn't have known what to do if it hadn't worked, so I'm glad that it is
now solid again.
