[mythtv-users] ivtv problem: Firmware UNRESPONSIVE

[James Orr]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with ivtv-0.9.1 and the latest firmware drivers (I
updated them to the ones released a few days ago after the problem
initially occurred with the firmware from October I think it is).  My
kernel version is 2.6.19 (gentoo sources 2.6.19-r5).

This does not happen every time it tries to record, but at the moment is
happening around once a day.  After it occurs the only way I know to get
it to start again is to reboot the system.

Anyway, here is what /var/log/message says ....

Note, I am NOT using an AMD64.  I saw somebody else with a similar
problem suggest it may be something to do with that, but I have a 2.4GHz
Celeron in this computer.

Help?
