Post subject:  not enough free buffers

Hi there,

I've done a auto install op knoppmyth and got (every second) on my console the message:

not enough free buffers ......
My system is very slow
Can someone tell me what this mean and what I should do to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance!

well the error means that there are not enough free buffers for the pvr350 to write to and it is going to drop a frame. As for how to fix it, check for dma. there's a command to increase the buffers that some have claimed success with. look at the test_ioctl stuff. and if you can't really tell anything in your recordings don't worry about it. I get that occationaly on mine, but I still get pretty good recordings.
