Ben, So I assume you problems are now resolved. Just ensure: a) that you actually have 512M of physical system memory. The kernel's going to take your word for it and you'll get the mystery crash sometime later if it tries to use physical memory you don't have. b) The ivtv driver loads in the last log you sent were also griping about running out of vmalloc space. Make sure you've got vmalloc set high enough so that those units are working OK too.
