My question is regarding the "C7 respawning too slow" error that I'm getting. I've read ALL of the previous posts and have tried all of the ones that I could understand or that would work and nothing has changed.
Background: My system is a Gigabyte motherboard with and nvidia chipset and an AMD A2 processor. I'm running 2 Tuner cards: Pinnacles HDTV and the Hauppauge HVR-1600. My video card is a PCI Nvidia 6200LE. I'm using composite out for my TV signal.
I just installed R5.5 and everything was going well. I forgot to install my video drivers but later tried to and it told me I was already using the newest version from the website (180.22)
I followed directions on installing the HVR-1600 and afterward had the respawning error. I tried all of the tricks, as the "vmalloc=192M" one seems to be the biggest deal, I've tried it a few times, in different parts of my lilo.conf file. I haven't even tried configuring the Pinnacle card, yet.
I checked my log files and found this at the bottom of Xorg.0.log:

Here is my lilo.conf file:

# +---------------------------------------------------------------+
# | !! Reminder !! |
# | |
# | Don't forget to run `lilo' after you make changes to this |
# | conffile, `/boot/bootmess.txt', or install a new kernel. The |
# | computer will most likely fail to boot if a kernel-image |
# | post-install script or you don't remember to run `lilo'. |

#disk=/dev/sda
# bios=0x80
# Specifies the boot device. This is where Lilo installs its boot
# block. It can be either a partition, or the raw device, in which
# case it installs in the MBR, and will overwrite the current MBR.
#
boot=/dev/sda
# Specifies the device that should be mounted as root. (`/')
#
root=/dev/sda1
# Enable map compaction:
# Tries to merge read requests for adjacent sectors into a single
# read request. This drastically reduces load time and keeps the
# map smaller. Using `compact' is especially recommended when
# booting from a floppy disk. It is disabled here by default
# because it doesn't always work.
#
# compact
# Installs the specified file as the new boot sector
# You have the choice between: bmp, compat, menu and text
# Look in /boot/ and in lilo.conf(5) manpage for details
#

# Specifies the location of the map file
#
map=/boot/map
# You can set a password here, and uncomment the `restricted' lines
# in the image definitions below to make it so that a password must
# be typed to boot anything but a default configuration. If a
# command line is given, other than one specified by an `append'
# statement in `lilo.conf', the password will be required, but a
# standard default boot will not require one.
#
# This will, for instance, prevent anyone with access to the
# console from booting with something like `Linux init=/bin/sh',
# and thus becoming `root' without proper authorization.
#
# Note that if you really need this type of security, you will
# likely also want to use `install-mbr' to reconfigure the MBR
# program, as well as set up your BIOS to disallow booting from
# removable disk or CD-ROM, then put a password on getting into the
# BIOS configuration as well. Please RTFM `install-mbr(8)'.
#
# password=tatercounter2000
# Specifies the number of deciseconds (0.1 seconds) LILO should
# wait before booting the first image.
#
delay=20
# You can put a customized boot message up if you like. If you use
# `prompt', and this computer may need to reboot unattended, you
# must specify a `timeout', or it will sit there forever waiting
# for a keypress. `single-key' goes with the `alias' lines in the
# `image' configurations below. eg: You can press `1' to boot
# `Linux', `2' to boot `LinuxOLD', if you uncomment the `alias'.

Let me know if you need any more information. I'm VERY new to linux and myth, so please go easy on me. I'm trying to be thorough, so you guys can see everything I'm seeing.
Any help would be greatly appreciatted and thank for all of you for working on such a cool project.
Update: I guess I was too tired last night b/c I pasted the wrong part of my xorg.0.log. I'll post it in it's entirety later today (I'm at work) but the jist is that at the bottom, it read something like:
Code:
UnloadModule: "nvidia" (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration
I've googled for that and tried some tricks, but to no avail.
