Re: bttv problems in 2.4.0/2.4.1

[adrian]

Hmmm,

   I have a bt848 based video capture card, and get near the same results:
2.4.0-test10 through 2.4.1 all lock when i2c registers the device.  The
card has its own interrupt.  With 2.2.18, the card initialized and the
kernel continued to boot.  Interesting.

Regards,
Adrian
