It's more likely your MB having DMA problems than the PVR-150. There are
several known DMA issues with various MBs, CPUs, and chipsets. I'm no
expert, but if you post that data, perhaps someone can help you. There may
be a custom kernel setting just for your problem. And if not, throwing a
different MB at it would be a way to go. But diagnosis first.

Good luck.
