Thinking more about it what we need is a trace of what is happening
in the bt848 driver .

In bktr_intr, uncomment the printf and send us the output .	
       if (!(bktr_status & BT848_INT_RISCI))
                return;
/**
        printf( "intr status %x %x %x\n",
                bktr_status, dstatus, bt848->risc_count );
 */

Basically, start fxtv or dtv for a 2 or 3 seconds and kill the program
Hopefully that would be enough time to show us what is going on.

	Tnks,
	Amancio
