just take this one step at a time.
It seems that the mailing list contains some posts from frustrated users
out there that have the same problem. In some cases it seems like a patch
will be applied to handle the issue.
Is there a patch against any current kernel release?
I'll start there, but I do have a lot of time invested in gathering
possible information on this, my backend has been unusable since November
due to this bug. I've tried many different things to alleviate the issue,
though I feel that maybe I'm overlooking something simple. Like a bug in
the IVTV driver.
Let me know if that's the case :).

Thought I'd add a little more hardware information as my email was just
_too_ sparse :).
Motherboard: MSI 7125 Socket 939 era
CPU: Opteron 165 (dual core, not overclocked)
1x Hauppauge PVR 500
2x Hauppauge PVR 150
2x Sil 3114 PCI 4x SATA controller (1 on-board, 1 in a pci slot)
All 4 DRAM banks are populated with 1GB sticks.
The curious thing about this whole setup is the PCI addressable memory
space, it's a little odd, for an older machine as this (with no further
BIOS updates), I'd expect lesser addressable space via the BIOS, but I
get almost all of the 4GB, free reports 3996116 total memory.
I've fiddled with the BIOS memory mappings, one resulted in all of the
memory being available and the PCI cards didn't get much of anything,
the other way disabled 1 GB (3gigs available to the system) and the PCI
cards seemed to starve for addressable memory as well.
To conclude, I do have my suspicions that somehow my PCI bus beings
overburdened would cause these lockups, though they are extremely
difficult to diagnose and/or reproduce.
