Debian and bttv, only black and white works

Greetings,

I have what i would call an odd problem, i moved the zoneminder, its database, and the brooktree 8 channel adapter to a new system, from an ubuntu to a debian. But now i cant get any of the inputs to work with anything other than black and white.

Could someone give me a pointer to what i should do :) All the cameras are different, and ive gotten most of them off ebay.

So can anyone tell me what silly mistake i have made :)

root@mythserver:~# cat /etc/modprobe.d/bttv.conf
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
options bttv gbuffers=16 card=102,102,102,102,102,102,102,102 radio=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 tuner=4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4 chroma_agc=1 combfilter=2 full_luma_range=1 coring=1 autoload=0

Could be a lot of things but the high probability is that it's a palette issue (use BGR24) or a shared memory issue (at least double it, reboot, check again).

Thanks BB99,

it turned out to be the shared memory :) so now the wife is happy again, but how do i explain "shared memory" to her :)
