Some feedback:
I tried with the latest ivtv-0.2.0-rc3g.tgz which eventually agreed to load!
The acpi=force and pci=noacpi were not of use in my case (and needed to
be removed : with these options sound fails).
So with my kernel 2.6.10 compiled with acpi, I'm finally able to watch LiveTV through Myth (1 hour without hang/bug, I call it my personal record)


Good, 4 weeks of perseverance, but eventually I've got a working AMD64
MythTV box :)

Reminder : hardware is Asus K8N-E Deluxe, nvidia FX5200. Onboard sound
with Alsa. OS is Gentoo 64 (LiveTV in Myth did not work with Debian)

Thank you for your input. I tried your settings; unfortunately that did not work in my case :-/
I tried with 3 different PCI slots, still the same error:


ivtv: version 0.2.0 (rc3f) loading
ivtv: Autodetected WinTV PVR 350 card
ivtv: Found an iTVC15 based chip
ivtv: Cannot request memory region on card 0.
ivtv: Error -5 on initialization
ivtv-iTVC15_16_mpg2_encoder_card: probe of 0000:02:07.0 failed with error -5


Strange... any other advice to help me focus my research?

I had the same problem. It seems the PCI probe for ACPI is confusing the ivtv drivers. I fixed it with:
acpi=force pci=noacpi
as kernel parms in grub.conf

My setup:

Apparently when I enable ACPI, ivtv fails initializing. The output of dmesg gives:
-----------------------------
Linux video capture interface: v1.00
msp3400: Unknown parameter `simple'
saa7127: video encoder driver version V 0.3 loaded

Removing acpi from the kernel, initialization runs smoothly. I'm able to 'mplayer /dev/video0' correctly.


Well, besides, I found out that the sound of the K8N-E Deluxe needs the acpi to runs correctly. Without acpi the sound gets lost after 10 to 30 seconds of listening. So acpi is mandatory in my case...


I found no thread on the ML describing the above issue. Any idea?
