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.

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.

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.
