^^^^^^^
That should be 'cx25843' not 'cx25 0'. The chip's ID register is not
responding. Meaning the chip is not responding properly.
An ID of 0 vs 843 means the module thinks it has a CX2388[578] AV core
device.

Try appling this, and only this, patch to the cx25840 module:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~awalls/cx23885-ir2/raw-rev/dde5d7a09203
If that doesn't work, you may have a dead CX25843 chip on the PVR-150.
Or maybe somehow the CX25843 chip is getting really confused.
Please test the card in a Windows box, or in a linux box where another
PVR-150 is known to work.
That will tell you if the chip is gone.
Regards,
Andy
