I am struggling with crashes several times a week that are preceded by a string of "ENC DMA ERROR"s in the message log (and also by a bunch of "ivtv driver not responding"s in mythbackend.log). I am using a PVR-150 with ivtv 0.10.1 under Ubunty Fiesty kernel 2.6.20-16.
This thread http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/users/36431 offers an updated driver that sounds like it may fix the problem. I've downloaded the tarball, and I have a few questions: The README warns against using the update with kernel 2.6.20, but says it's OK with 2.6.20.2 and newer. Is 2.6.20-16 older or newer than 2.6.20.2? The README.install contains installation instructions, however, I have a question: "5. unload any old drivers" - is that the same as saying "modprobe -r ivtv"? Finally, this thread http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/users/35602 claims the updated driver from the specific error I am having much worse. Does anyone have any further info on the effectiveness of this update? Thanks-
