Yes, I know how weird it is. But it really does look very much like a
timing or perhaps an interrupt sharing problem. Perhaps you (and many
others) are not bitten by it, although I do suspect there are others that
are...
I've had this same problem with 0.7.0, 0.7.1 on 2.6.17-1.2054_FC5smp,
2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp and 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5smp (and non-smp versions); I
just never managed to get ivtv working reliably on FC5 on this mobo (MSI
with Intel945). Currently on 2187_FC5xen0 SMP and very happy again :-).
