what kind of disk is this?

tune by the frequency ( ie 217.75 ). leave out "-t -m 4" ( should be
initialized properly on module load ).

i dunno. there seems to be something funny going on between your
capturecard and your harddisk. i can't troubleshoot that from here.

i would probably try to find out if there is a firmware update for
your motherboard, switching disks, writing to a network share instead
of local disk... etc.

post the console-messages of the cxm-driver on module-load please.
