This should be fixed in kernel 2.6.21 for sure.

Do you also get wavy lines when you do get a picture? Mine had this and I had similar problems. Replacing it with a PVR-150 solved it. > I've been unable to get lirc working with the card too, while the card > was in a Windows machine I forgot to check if the remote worked. > > With all the recent defective cards reports, I'm wondering if thats > where my problem is. > > I'm not sure, but I seem to have some crashes related to loading the > driver for the motherboards SB Audigy LS card, but I don't know how to > get udev to print what it's doing, so it just say loading udev and freezes. Udev versions >= 80 do coldpluging of devices (bad IMHO but that's another discussion ;-)). Change udev_log=err to udev_log=debug in /etc/udev/udev.conf. This should give you more output. Also you will want to enable boot logging in /etc/conf.d/rc. This hopefully records where the hang happens. > AMD DualCore 5000+, 4 GB Memory, SB Audigy LS (MSI K9N Diamond > motherboard Sound), Nvidia 7300 video card. If you have enabled msi (broken mostly on all non intel platforms) in your kernel then this could be the source of you problems. Try and pass pci=nomsi to the kernel via grub. Also APIC can be a problem so if pci=nomsi does not work try noapic and nolapic. Last but not least put it into a different pci slot. The below INIT looks ok for the exception of the tuner which you figured should be set to 38.
