Hi Rich,
I need some information first before I start to look into this.
1) The PVR250 works fine in a PCI-X slot, correct? You say it was
modified: do you know what was modified? Hauppauge did the
modification? My guess would be that the modification was to make it
work at 3.3V instead of 5V.
2) Can you confirm that the same PVR500 works in a PCI-X slot with the
same hardware under Windows?
2) is of course the most important to know. This would confirm that it
is indeed a software issue and not a hardware issue. I tried to google
but I was unable to find any article that confirms a PVR500 working in
a PCI-X slot, nor am I aware of anything that needs to be done in the
driver to make it work with PCI-X.
I do know that the PVR500 has problems with certain kinds of
hardware/BIOS versions. For example, if I put my PVR500 in my AMD64
Asus server, then the server won't even boot.
The ultimate test for these kinds of problems is always testing it under
Windows.
Regards,
Hans
