Pre 8 and pre 9 causes crashing kernel with bttv

Hello all,
I am sending this to both the kernel list and to Alan Cox (although I
don't think it is his problem)

The problem
I have used the 2.1.131 and higher till pre 9.
The problems start since pre 8 (pre 9 and earlier worked fine).

I have got a hauppauge and I use the bttv drivers. I insert all the
modules with the script delivered with the bttv driver So this is what
happens.
the first modules load fine (i2c, tuner, video...) then the module bttv
needs to be loaded. This goes correct. Then the sound module msp3400 has
to be loaded and then the machine completly hangs (with both pre8 and
pre9). Sometimes the magic keys work (not always).
This also happens with the video4linux drivers in the kernel. When
starting xawtv, kerneld loads video, i2c and bttv. To get the tuner
working I load tuner.
Next thing I try to load msp3400 and the whole thing hangs again.
(again, this only happens with pre 8 and pre 9)

BTW: You could also load msp3400 before bttv (instead of bttv and then
msp3400). Then msp3400 get's loaded and than when you try to load bttv
the pc completly hangs.

If you need more info I will give it to you. I find this sad to happen
with the pre-final ... :-(

machinge info:
AMD K6 - 200 (kernel reports stepping bug) , running normal speed
64 MB 100 mhz SDRAM
Hauppauge winTV/RADIO (stereo) card.
UltraSound PnP (using alsadrivers)
Matrox G200 (works perfect to boot into graphics with the nice pinguin)
NCR SCSI card.
Winbond NE2000 PCI card
56K e-tech modem...

I am not subscribed to the kernel list. So any questions should be send
to me (if you have them) jeroen.asselman@pemail.net

Bye...
