[ivtv-users] cat /dev/video0 suddently stops after capturing a looong time

[Mike]

This happens to me too, running slackware 12. Not too sure on the kernel 
version (think its around 2.6.21.x), I can almost rule out overheating 
as I did try a 12cm fan directly blowing onto the card and it stopped at 
~half hour. I'm pretty sure I've had the card running flawlessly before 
so I'd try an older kernel/ivtv version.
