problem with kernel 2.4.30 on p3-500 with asus cubx-mainboard

From: Dieter Ferdinand

hello,
i have a system to record video with 4 dvb's-cards.

this systems hangs to oft in last two weeks and all is dead, no reaction to ping from
network or keyboard.

to find out, why the system hangs, i change some parameters from kernel and build
a new kernel.

last i try to change the irq-order and the order from the pci-cards.

i think, that at the moment, the system hangs, a harddisk access or a network-
access is handled while i access one or both of them, if the system hangs.

only a hardware-reset is possible at this time.

a similarly system with some other components (asus p2b-s adaptec uw-scsi on
board, p3-450 and only two dvb-cards) works fine.

i have no more ideas, what i can do, to find a cause for this problem.

thank you for your help.

at the moment, the pci-cards are in this order:
aha2940 UW
DVB-card
3c905b
3 dvd-cards

irq:
0: 868630 XT-PIC timer
1: 10 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
3: 8 XT-PIC serial
8: 4 XT-PIC rtc
