It is definitly not always a kernelissue.. i tried a Asus A8V with my PVR-500, and the motherboard could not even post with the Hauppauge-card mounted.. Then i tried a ULi M1697-based board (can't remember what board) and that booted, ivtv detected the PVR fine, but when i tried to use the videodevices it yelled about DMA-errors and reset... noacpi and noapic didn't fix it... but THIS one could be a kernelbug i guess. Now i'm on a nForce3-based board, and it works flawlessly. // Hans _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
