I have been using a PVR-350 for several months in a MythTV box I built and have been quite happy with it. I just purchased a second PVR-350 for a second computer of mine. Both computers are running Fedora Core 4 Linux OS. I can use my older PVR-350 in both machines with no problem, but if I put the new PVR-350 in either machine the machine locks up during the boot process if I have the ivtv drivers loaded. I am trying to determine if the new card is bad, or if the new card may not be compatible with the latest ivtv drivers from Atrpms.net (ivtv-0.6.2-110.rhfc4.at, ivtv-kmdl-2.6.16-1.2111_FC4-0.6.2-110.rhfc4.at, kernel-2.6.16-1.2111_FC4). I have tried several different kernel versions and ivtv driver versions, but the behavior is the same - the older card works fine, the new one locks up the machine. Is there a way I can determine if this is a new card version that the ivtv drivers don't yet know how to handle, or should I assume the card is bad and return it?
There are no errors in /var/log/messages when the machines lock up, and it locks up before the "START INIT IVTV" section, so there is nothing to indicate what the problem is.
If I unload the ivtv driver, I can boot the machine with the new PVR-350 in it. I can then load the ivtv driver, and run "depmod -a", but when I run "modprobe ivtv" the system hangs and I'm back to not being able to get back to the same place until I shut down, physically remove the card, boot up the system, unload the ivtv driver, shut down, replace the card, then boot back up.
My modprobe.conf and lspci -v output are below. Remember, this configuration works fine with my other PVR-350 just not the brand new one. I installed the systems using Jarod's guide. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
