bttv crash/freeze (Twinhan and similar)
Hi, The bttv driver in kernel 2.6.11 contains a deadly bug. It freezes the system when loaded (with cards like Twinhan Vision Plus). Fortunately, the linuxtv team has found the culprit, a superfluous bttv_reset_audio. The patch (as attached) is rather small, and works fine. Please integrate it into the kernel, and provide an update. -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" http://www.jwdt.com/~paysan/

The second chunk was already in our kernel repository and will go out with the next security kernel update. I'll have our kernel folks look at the first chunk now, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
