My system is P350, 224M memory, vdr 1.3.23, 2.4 kernel, dvb-kernel drivers from CVS ~2 weeks ago (needed CVS version for Airstar2)
I was expecting to get stable usable system by getting FF card, but no way. Any ideas what might the problem be:
- Too slow CPU
The cost of a new mobo + modern CPU would be much less than your disappointment. I can tell that, but I also plan to revamp an old Celeron 466 + DXR3 into a brand new carputer... without any (much) add-on cost...
- 2.4 kernel, everybody uses 2.6 ?
You have the typical VDR setup, particularly the one Klaus uses, so it should be safe.
- Using DVB-S as output only is bad idea
- Bad HW (computer or DVB-FF)
Test your memory with memtest (or memtest86) and your CPU with cpuburn. Both will also stress the chipset. You will be confident after that (or you'll have replaced a few chips). This old computer could very well hurt you. No systematic test for the DVD card, though.
- Bad DVB driver version
- Bad VDR version
- Bad luck
Or bad compiler, bad package source, bad dependencies. Did you try precompiled packages only, or at the contrary only self-compiled plackages and plug-ins ?
- Nothing broken, this is the way it is for everybody. I should use more M$-products to get to used crashes
