[vdr] System freeze

[Dirk Wiebel <dirk@wiebel.de>]

Hello List,

tonight my VDR Box just froze while scanning the recordings. Since that
time I can't make it run anymore -- the drivers (CVS 2002-01-22) load
fine, but every time I start VDR the system freezes totally. I usually
use 2 DVB-s and 1 Nova, now I removed the Nova and tried the two DVB-s
alone -- same effect. "szap" works fine. Kernel 2.4.17 should be OK, it
worked well with VDR since tonight.

As Klaus announced the pre5 version, I upgraded to this one -- same
effect. Memory has been changed and tested. It seems to be the VDR
Program (as well with or without LIRC) which causes the trouble -- I
don't see the "max latency time" log entry anymore...

Does anyone have an idea what to check next? Below is a snippet of the
last try.

Regards,
Dirk
