Booting with 2.4.27 solved the crash on boot problem. Using vesa driver instead of nv in X got the tv out working (clone mode). So now i can use the tv as a fuzzy monitor. But vlc works great. Next will try nvidia drivers on 2.6.17-3 and 2.4.27. BTW Suse 10.1 with a 2.6.13 kernel also crashes.
Why not try an older, more stable kernel? Bleeding edge kernels tend to crash...
Need the bleeding edge for trying out nvidia drivers - they are closed. I will only be testing and then seeing what needs to be tweaked with the open nv drivers. Basically just building a home entertainment box. Problem is that my mom and dad need to operate it with a remote. So lotsa lirc stuff and tv mode. It rocks as it is, but asking mom to fire up a shell and type in some commands is a nono - for now. Had to install lidvdcss2 for playing those drmd shit.
