From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/417.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/417.8 Description of problem: Hi, With all the Fedora Core 5 test kernels my system crashes when I capture video from my pchdtv-3000 card for a couple of hours. Some kernel versions back it'd show some out of memory messages on the screen, but be mostly unresponsive. I tried having the system email me a top output every minute to see if I could catch what was eating the memory, but it always showed plenty memory free for cache and buffers. The system has 4GB ram. I tried specifying mem=2048M when booting to see if it would make a difference, but it didn't. The last few kernels just had the system hang (keyboard input didn't work). I wasn't going to report it with this little information except I tried upgrading the kernel to 2.6.16-rc4 and haven't had any problems since. I copied the .config from the latest fc5 test kernel. The cx2388x DVB driver is the same in the two kernels, so it's not something that simple. - ask Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1) start a capture from the pchdtv card 2) wait for the system to hang. Additional info:
I think this was fixed in 2.6.15-1.2009.4.2_FC5smp (the "raid1 leak" fix in 2008)
cool, thanks for the update.
