I'd appreciate any help I can get diagnosing a strange problem I've been having with my PVR-150 card using the ivtv driver.
1. It worked just fine under my last system incarnation, using the same card, but different MB/CPU/Linux distro 2. Some time passed... 3. Now, the system works, and I get TV through the card using either the "cat /dev/video0" method, or through mythtv, for a while... 4. After a few (to several) hours of working just fine, it stops. No more video from mythtv, and the "cat /dev/video0 > cap.mpeg" just generates a zero-length file, no matter how long I let it go. 5. There is no, zero, not any output to the console, syslog in dmesg at the time of the failure or on subsequent attempts to use it. 6. Unloading and reloading the ivtv and all other (video related) drivers does not cure the problem. 7. A warm reboot fixes it, for a while 8. A cold reboot fixes it, for a while 9. A very, very cold (plug out overnight) reboot fixes it, for a while. I've tried the last three stable ivtv driver versions with their required kernel versions. Exact same behavior. I'm open to the problem possibly being in the card, but it seems more likely in the software. Any ideas? Thanks! -Erik G.
