I did, in a previous incarnation of this thread 2-3 days ago, post the lsmod output and a section of the log showing (I believe) rampant dma failures. It also didn't generate any comments.
FWIW, I have reinstalled the tarballs version of the drivers, but that was of no use, so its definitely something in the RT patch itself I believe. 2.6.12-rc1 works great. By default.
As far as my being able to fix that, I'm afraid I'll have to plead NDI. The last time I dealt with dma, was on an rca 1802 cpu, which had its own builtin dma controller that took care of everything but the pointer reload for the next 6 byte fetch, and which I used for 6 bytes per field of video to feed a homebrewed character generator I made out of ttl chips, to generate the academy leader on a commercial. The year was 1978. A bit far back up the log for even me, altho I may still have a copy of the machine code I wrote that ran it at KRCR-TV in Redding CA for a decade that I know of, maybe longer.
That is neither here nor there now of course, just shining a light back up the calendar about 27 years for illustration.
