Well, since the "device", a bt878 based Haupagge tv card is
sitting in a pci socket, thats even more drastic than a reboot.

Not if you have a good hot-swap PCI cage. ;)

Anyhow, that points even more at a driver issue for the bt878 -
if you can get Sysrq-T output, where does it say the hung process is
inside the kernel?


Thats another thing I've had compiled in since forever, but it so seldom actually *works*, I've tended to forget about it.

You have it enabled as well as compiled in, I'm sure.
