I've also been having problems with the 2.6.17-1.2174 kernel (though I'm
using the standard version, not the smp version). I've tried it with both
the latest version from the 0.7 branch in subversion and with the ivtv-kmdl
kernel module from atrpms, neither work.

Regards
David

Subject: [ivtv-users] pvr-150, ivtv-0.7.0,and FC5 kernel-2.6.17-1 won't play
nice

Hi,

I have a pvr-150 that appears to be reliably and properly recognized as
evidenced by the output from lspci -v.  The box is running FC5 with a custom
kernel, basically kernel.org sources with a configuration that is
essentially Fedora's kernel config-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp.

I'm using ivtv-0.7.0 with the latest firmware files installed in
/lib/firmware, but they are not reliably recognized when I modprobe ivtv.
Sometimes I can get the ivtv module to load, sometimes I can't, but even
when it does, attempting 'cat /dev/video0 >a.mpg' gives a "no such device"
or some similar error.  Log extracts:

So I rmmod'd and then re-modprobed ivtv...

I can rmmod and then re-modprobe ivtv multiple times although doing so
eventually causes a system freeze.

One additional observation is that with the pvr-150 installed, but _not_ the
ivtv modules, something happens that prevents videos and sound from playing
properly after about 10-15 minutes, ultimately freezing xine or mplayer,
which must then be kill -9'd from the commandline. This behavior goes away
when the card is removed and returns when the card is installed.

Question: Should this setup work and might this behavior be the result of a
bad card?  Other ideas?

Thanks.

Daniel
