[linux-dvb] FW: Problems with RCU (LIRC) while replaying

[Benjamin Harling <benjamin.harling@web.de>]

Hi Christian,

danke Dir. Das war offensichtlich das Problem.

And for the non-german-speaking people on this list:

Christian suggested to check whether DMA is on for the HDDs (hdparam -d1
/dev/hd?). If not the IRQ for lirc is lost during heavy utilization of the
HDD.

Thanks for your help.

Benjamin

Hi,

hast du DMA für die Festplatten eingeschaltet? (hdparam -d1 /dev/hd?)
Ansonsten gehen bei starken Festplattenaktivität die IRQs für lirc verloren.
