Title says it all...I just got my hands on a PVR-500, pu`t it into my box and<br>I've had problems with it ever since...<br><br>A bit of background - the box is running SuSE 10.2, with the latest version <br>of ivtv (0.10.3
) and the latest firmware along with the most recent MythTV (from<br>RPMs). It's an Athlon64 with a gig of RAM. I could understand if it was only <br>MythTV that went down, but when I try to use the card, the ENTIRE SYSTEM
<br>locks up, and I need a restart to save it. <br><br>The PVR-500 I have uses the Philips tuner, so it's not a problem with the tuner. (or at<br>least, the type of tuner in use). I thought the problem may stem from too much
<br>dust in the system, but I've cleaned it out and everything's running okay there. Originally, <br>I had a PVR-350 alongside the 500, but I pulled it out for debugging the problem. The<br>PVR-350 works fine, with no problems. I've tried changing slots as well, to no avail.
<br>ivtv startup is posted below. <br><br>Any ideas? I realize this isn't specifically a Myth problem, but I was hoping someone could<br>point me in the right direction (and yes, I am sending this out to ivtv-users as well).
<br><br>Thanks! <br><br> - Chris<br><br># dmesg | grep ivtv<br><br><pre>ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================<br>ivtv: version 0.10.3 (tagged release) loading<br>ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.18.8-0.3-default
