I am running a stock kernel 2.6.17-5mdv on Mandriva 2007 with a 64 bit box. I am trying to get a PVR-350 working and am having issues. I havent received replies on previous posts here so I want to know one key thing will the PVR-350 work on a 64 bit box for starters and if so can I make it work with a 2.6.17 kernel? This kernel seems to be discouraged on the ivtv site. I tried to update to 18 and 20, but had no success because of other software issues. If I can Id like to stay with 17. If anyone else has a brief how-to for Mandriva 2007 and this card, I would sure appreciate it. Ive basically used the generic how to and some old documentation. Heres the output of dmesg with my trials to date
