The same goes for lsci, lsusb, /proc/cpuinfo, ver_linux output, the kernel .config etc. We don't have your system nor a kernel build exactely like yours, so we need those details to be able to help you better, wether or not you think it is relevant to provide that info is irrelevant, please just provide the info you are asked for if you want people to try and help you. > Memoinfo: > > MemTotal: 512528 kB > MemFree: 8760 kB > Buffers: 2656 kB > Cached: 236216 kB > SwapCached: 2052 kB > Active: 390480 kB > Inactive: 54756 kB > HighTotal: 0 kB > HighFree: 0 kB > LowTotal: 512528 kB > LowFree: 8760 kB > SwapTotal: 4883680 kB > SwapFree: 4864064 kB > Dirty: 112 kB > Writeback: 0 kB > Mapped: 388988 kB > Slab: 23320 kB > CommitLimit: 5139944 kB > Committed_AS: 518952 kB > PageTables: 1912 kB > VmallocTotal: 515796 kB > VmallocUsed: 25496 kB > VmallocChunk: 487120 kB > Thanks. > > Other findings; > > - all kernels had the same issue, except (not 100 % sure) 2.4.2X kernels > - tried acpi=noirq without success and many many other acpi options & > combo's > - nvidia binary driver replaced by kernel nv driver but without success > > I have no reason to suspect the tvcard which is a terratec value with a > bt878 chip, support in the kernel.
