I just took the day to update my mythtv machine to FC5 and all the latest
updates from ATrpms (ivtv, lirc, alsa, etc.)

and now I get: 

stream: start_time: 0.334 duration: 19.319 bitrate=6063 kb/s
select timeout - ivtv driver has stopped responding
2006-05-13 19:36:30.054 TVRec(1): Changing from WatchingLiveTV to None

from mythbackend

Some information:
Using a PVR150 & PVR500 (Samsung), but this is all from the PVR150

ivtv:  ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================
ivtv:  version 0.6.2 (development snapshot compiled on Mon May  8 07:48:42
2006) loading
ivtv:  Linux version: 2.6.16-1.2111_FC5 SMP gcc-4.1
...
tuner 2-0061: type set to 50 (TCL 2002N)
ivtv0: Initialized Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150, card #0


tuner is initialized properly, and I can cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/tst.mpg with no
problems.

The first time I start Myth, I can watch live tv, but as soon as I try to
change a channel, it lockes up, and I get "ivtv driver has stopped responding"
on mythbackend.

if I try to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/tst.mpg
cat: /dev/video0: Device or resource busy


However, if I 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# ivtvctl --reload
ioctl IVTV_IOC_RELOAD_FW ok

dmesg:

I can once again cat /dev/video0 and watch live TV within Myth
but if I try to change channles, it happens all over again.

Doing some searching, I see it's a known(?) problem:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/153601?search_string=select%20timeout;#153601
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/181233?search_string=ivtv%20driver%20stopped%20responding;#181233

Is there anything I can do to get ivtv (and Myth) back up and running?

Thanks.
