As far as I can see the hollywood plus isn't clashing with anything.....?

It's not sharing an IRQ with a PCI device but it still might be sharing with a system device, check your ide conrtrollers, etc..

In the kde control center under Information-->Interrupts.
Or do "cat /proc/interrupts"

This evening I've opened the box up and removed a PCI modem..

This is now my PCI config followed by the system interupts..

can't see anything clashing...

That looks ok, are you still getting the time outs?

Yeah, still getting the timeouts...

Am completely stuck....

Have you tried the cvs version?

Nope, am not entirely sure how to use cvs... or actually what exactly it is... would a cvs build be newer but poteintially unstable?

Also would there be any permission or user problems... I'm installing this as root.. currently I'm downloading stuff in windows (fat) as I haven't set up the adsl connection under slack... so then I'm copying the tar.gz to /usr/src extracting and making...

Hmm actually when the window partition is mounted all the permissions are very strict... regular users can do next to nothing...

Previously I would use root for everything (really bad i know).. As this machine is now a gateway for a home lan, and house mates will use this machine... I'm trying to do everything right.. Although I'm still not very good at knowing when i should/shouldn't be root...

Did you chmod the em8300 devices?

what permissions does they need?

Ok this is what i have mine set to,

Code:

bern@grendel bern$ ll /dev/em8300*

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root    root          13 Aug 22 20:58 /dev/em8300 -> /dev/em8300-0

crw-rw-rw-    1 root    root    121,  0 Aug 22 20:58 /dev/em8300-0

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root    root          16 Aug 22 20:58 /dev/em8300_ma -> /dev/em8300_ma-0

crw-rw-rw-    1 root    root    121,  2 Aug 22 20:58 /dev/em8300_ma-0

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root    root          16 Aug 22 20:58 /dev/em8300_mv -> /dev/em8300_mv-0

crw-rw-rw-    1 root    root    121,  1 Aug 22 20:58 /dev/em8300_mv-0

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root    root          16 Aug 22 20:58 /dev/em8300_sp -> /dev/em8300_sp-0

crw-rw-rw-    1 root    root    121,  3 Aug 22 20:58 /dev/em8300_sp-0

bern@grendel bern$

And this is what i have in /etc/modules.conf

Code:

alias char-major-121 em8300

pre-install em8300 modprobe adv717x

post-install em8300 em8300init

options adv717x pixelport_16bit=0 pixelport_other_pal=0 swap_redblue_pal=0

options em8300 dicom_fix=1 dicom_control=1 dicom_other_pal=0

"chmod 666" will set the correct permissions and you'll need to play around with the module options to get the tv out working correctly.

This probably doesn't below in this thread but i'll ask the question anyway...

As I mentioned before I'm having difficulty working out when i need to be root and when not...

Is it the case that all things compiled from source need to be done so as root?
