Same here with latest Myth ivtv CVS version from two hours ago. The newest
revision V4L2 is patched against 2.40.20 kernel ( http://bytesex.org/patches/2.4/ )
and there are no V4L2 warnings when compiling. But just before the
segfault an ioctl is issued.

First attempt installing myth so not sure what kind of V4L, V4L2 commands are
issued when selecting input selections in setup. V4l2 ioctl 0x803c7601 is a
bit to cryptic for me. ;-) Is there still some manual database munging
needed in addition or should it detect the input selection options
automagicly with latest cvs ?

Isaac,

Are you using the "broken" mandrake supplied V4L2 or patched the
latest V4L2 rev. ?
