Linux-Kernel 2.6.x
As you might have mentioned I really like the firewire-stuff on linux, today I captured 5GiB of movies – sucessful and on my workstation :). But due to some problems with the dv1394-module (which couldn’t be loaded via insmod after compiling) I wanted to upgrade from kernel 2.6.2 to 2.6.3. I already tried 2.6.3-rc2 but also on 2.6.3 the problem with the e1000-module still exists – my box freezes when there’s traffic on eth0 :-(. But I should move this rant to category linux because all needed stuff works on my 2.6.2, even 3D-support for my ATI Radeon 9600 (benchmark started while watching tv with my WinTV Express):
