[mythtv-users] Fedora Core 6, PVR-150, and ivtv lockup SOLVED

[Dan Buijs]

Hello all,

Got the issue resolved. It was hardware all along. The card looked ok, and
worked previously, but I opened up the box and installed a WIFI card right
next to it and must have bumped it. Wierd thing is, it was still detected by
lspci, but it locked the system as soon as I tried to do anything with it.

Lesson learned: Always check the hardware first!

Dan
