Doing the git bisect dance here would really help... Hmmm, I just found something interesting. In 2.6.21.3 the /sbin/init gets corrupted when I watch the video! $ cp /sbin/init init.before $ mplayer kiwi.flv $ cp /sbin/init init.after The sha1sums are here: 52c8d643057619cbe137b8e69d4709ce3bdd832d init.after 8efc7864a5b535a9e336fa82e9d7f112f3d956c1 init.before It seems that something corrupts memory somewhere... I attached those files in case someone can figure out what is happening. _ Tero Roponen Download attachment "init.before" of type "APPLICATION/octet-stream" (35380 bytes) Download attachment "init.after" of type "APPLICATION/octet-stream" (35380 bytes)
