just to throw my pennies in: to get the bttv driver to run at all, I had to switch my board (VIA Chipset, el-cheapo) down to 60MHz (from66). So my guessing was that the Booktree chip sometimes fails to read the adress, where the picture data should be written to. Now, I only have crashes during heavy disc activity (NCR - SCSI) and (more likely) when large windows pop up. Switching the turbo-switch to low gives some more stability. (around one crash a day to remind me, there's more in life than watching TV while reading news :-)) Later this year (feb. or so) I will replace my mixed 60/70ns fast-page RAM by some SDRAM to see if RAM-timing is critical...
