Local Cameras

I have 3 HP ML350's on Suse 11.0 with 26 Cameras installed on each using Bluecherry Cards and BTTV. This hardware is working successfully with Zoneminder using 1.23.3 despite a lot of original shared memory problems to get operational.

...so I thought I'd upgrade a standby I have machine to 1.24.
Upgrade went all OK but when tried system all cameras were black boxes with no capture rates. Checked BTTV (modprobe bttv card=105,105,105,105,105,105,105,105) and all seemed to be ok.

Decided to blowaway entire installation.... Installed Suse 11.0 from scratch then installed ZM 1.24.... still same problem.... all settings seem to be ok.

In warn log getting 'capture failure for frame 0: Device or resource busy'
and 'failed to prime capture of initial monitor'

Am I missing something obvious here?? - this is the 'normal' jpeg version no mpeg etc

Thanks for any pointers

If you up for trying out my free dvd, grab it and see how it works, I'm trying to compile a list of working equipment out of the box. I spent a lot of time adding in additional web cam drivers but maybe I need to look into these capture cards. I'm sure most will work with 8.04, but would like to have some feedback. I was happy to see an ACTI camera and mpeg4 working with my newest DVD and demo, be even happier if I see these capture cards working.
