Most likely cause is that you have a CPU frequency changer daemon 
running. The PVR cards don't like that. The messages you see are due to 
a crashed firmware.

If that doesn't help, then you can try to upgrade to 2.6.19 and use the 
ivtv from the subversion trunk repository. I'd be interested to hear if 
you have the same problems with that version.
