I had a simular problem which was being caused by an NVidia card with TV-out (I tried 2 cards, both gave this result). Try moving the card to a different slot. If you have a NVidia-card with TV-out, try replacing it with another one without and see if that changes anything. You never know.

Hi I'm having serious problems with my PVR 150.
I've got an error what is seemed to be pretty rare
videoinput: Card failed to allocate capture buffers: Ongeldig argument
(Ongeldig argument means invalid argument)
This what already tried
I used kinds 0.3.7 drivers (d, e, ,j en k) and few from the 0.2 stable releases I've tried different kinds of firmware but it doesn't help So I thought it might be hardware failure, I removed Linux and I installed Windows XP and guess what it works perfect, so it ain't a hardware failure.
Do you have any suggestions?
Here you've got a part of dmesg and my tvtime output.
I'm still a bit noob with linux but I'm learning fast.
Thnx in advance.
