ivtv: Bus Mastering is not enabled
ivtv: Error -6 on initialization
ivtv: iTVC15/16 mpg2 encoder card: probe of 0000:00:0c.0 failed with error -6
errors. Could it be that my motherboard doesn't have "bus mastering"? I looked all throughout the bios and the user manual for the mobo and can't find any mention of "bus master". It is an older machine I was trying to get away with using, but maybe I won't be able to. The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-7ZX and my processor is an AMD 950. I do have another machine that is better, but I was hoping to keep that one for my desktop machine.
Any thoughts?

Does anyone know why I'm getting this? What is "bus mastering" and how do I "enable it"? I've seen some other post that mention the PnP settings in the BIOS. I'm not sure what my settings are right now (I'm at work), but what should they be? Should PnP OS be "yes" or "no"?
Any one have any other ideas?

Switching the PVR-250 to another PCI slot usually solves this; most mobo manuals will tell you which PCI slots share IRQ's with each other and with onboard devices. Ideally, both your GFX card and the PVR require an IRQ each so that they can be bus masters. Devices like USB controllers and sound cards don't thrash the bus so much and are happy sharing IRQ's with each other.
Failing that, you can manually assign IRQ's to devices in the BIOS. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
