Brandon / Jon, Some background info, not that it helps much... We had a ton of issues under windows bringing the device into existence, largely because of the PCIe chipset implementations and various timing issues. None of these issues resulted in a complete system hang so your symptoms are a mystery. Typically the windows issues were that occasionally windows would not detect the device on insertion, removing and inserting again would always case windows to re-detect properly. I have to be honest and say that I've never tried hotplug PCIe on linux, I just don't have capable hardware. Speaking as the cx23885 Linux dev I would ask one thing, remove the cx23885.ko driver from your system and cold boot the system before your next set of tests. The hang sounds like a PCIe chipset issue on the motherboard, but if you can prove the hang only happens when the cx23885.ko driver is installed I'd be happy to work with you on the problem. Good luck, let me know how it goes, regards.
