ZoneMinder Forums

Well it's been several weeks now, and it seems to have fixed the issue.

So, if you are having this issue, use the IRQPOLL kernel parameter and this problem should go away once you reboot into the new kernel.

Okay, we have an update!! My Shell code failed to detect since the error code was always -1 so I wrote an ugly perl version... #!/usr/bin/perl @devices=qw(video0 video1 video2 video3); $count =2; while ($count>1) { foreach $device(@devices) { open (VIDEO, "cat /proc/self/root/dev/$device 2>&1 ...

Well, my `dmesg` output just contains alot of... [sck@house ~]$ dmesg | tail bttv2: PLL can sleep, using XTAL (28636363). bttv2: timeout: drop=0 irq=18645223/18645223, risc=10ba503c, bits: VSYNC HSYNC RISCI bttv2: reset, reinitialize bttv2: PLL can sleep, using XTAL (28636363). bttv2: timeout: drop ...

To identify my system further, I compiled ZoneMinder 1.24.2 from source, though I'm thinking of pulling the SVN repo to see if there's a change. The other solution I have to detect and fix the issue is to do something like this.. #!/bin/bash devices="video0 video1 video2 video3" while true ; do for ...

Just digging some more, I decided to look into the /proc filesystem and I notcied that I could trigger some messages for the /dev/video devices that weren't working in the /var/log/messages file. [sck@house ~]$ ls -ld /proc/self/root/dev/video* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Dec 12 12:28 /proc/self/root ...

On my CentOS 5.4 server using video4linux2 with a PV149 capture board installed with 8 local wired cameras running ZoneMinder - v1.24.2, I have the following problem... * Upon reboot, all cameras are good, images appearing, life is happy. * Over time, some cameras stop being viewable and the only ...

Since I've been tracking this thread for a while, I decided to check to see whether the kernel-2.6.25.11-60.fc8 that is part of Fedora Core 8 works correctly with ZM.

Yup, so my issue has been fixed and I can once again run the latest versions of the kernel.

Scott

As an update, I pulled an older version, and am running fine now. But, am tracking this to see if there's any alpha/beta testing needed.

Scott

Which is the newest Older kernel that works? I need to re-install the kernel since I typically remove the older ones from my machine after updating.

Scott

I will have to re-install the older kernel first. I typically clear the old kernels out when I upgrade. Dohh!

Since I'm having problems (as in I can no longer use ZM without re-compiling my kernel), has there been any further development on this?

If Phil was at 95% in april, does that mean we're at 99.842%? by now?

Scott

Any update on this? I have a Fedora Core 8 ZM host running kernel-2.6.25.4-10.fc8 and I also have this problem. Though I already ruled out hardware, I then re-installed ZM from scratch to ensure I didn't have a bad config, I then found this thread as I was about to submit the uber bug report ...

Oooooh, elegant idea.... Plus, I could use "sunrise_time" and the "at" service to have total control! http://www.sccon.ca/sccon/linux/sunshine.htm BWAH HA Ha ha! Okay, not as elegant as ZM doing it, itself, but I could also have the exterior lights be triggered via the same at script. Thanks for the ...

I'll check into this tonight (have made some tweaks today) But, I am worried that if the minimum is set too high would it miss other images, since at night the image is 90+% dark. But, during the day the settings are "just right" for capturing movement. So, if we could have a day/night setting so ...

Well, Merde...

Can't reproduce the issue after a complete re-install. Guess I made a mistake somewhere, but now I've documented the necessary steps to get a working FC8 selinux configuration of my home server.

This issue is a non-issue. (But I've got a new one forming in my head...)
