I tried this, with pretty much the same results. ivtv-fb generates some DMA errors, albeit slightly different than those below. I get api mailbox errors.

The fact that I have vga16fb loaded shouldn't effect ivtv-fb, would it? I'll try not loading that next...

I'm getting DMA erros on my system with various versions of ivtv and
firmware. Currently I'm working with version 0.1.9 of the ivtv driver with
firmware pvr250_18_22037.exe (0.2.0rc3g gives me headaches with ivtv-fb).
All the problems I've had with ivtv (any version) seem to relate to DMA
errors. I'm running 2.4.26 on a dual Xeon (HT enabled too) Supermicro
X5DA8 motherboard with seagate scsi disks, all firmware up to date.

An example of a DMA problem is this: If I have a recording going and I log
into/outof my system I get errors such as:

kernel: ivtv: Got DMA-done, but not expecting one kernel: ivtv:
DMA/UNKNOWN type 0xffffffff, NOT SUPPORTED

I've tried running with ACPI/APM and with it off, although I haven't tried
with HT off.

Any advice? 
    

Did you try the latest 0.3.x? It does some things differently thay may
(imho should) be better.

Jelle.

  
As mentioned, the problem seems to be even worse with the
0.2.0rc3g version, although I've only really used it with 2.4 kernel, as
I'm also having problems getting 2.6 working. Thanks for any ideas.....

Regards, Paul
