[mythtv-users] kernel oops! PVR 250 on 7NIF2 -- ideas?

[Shane Hetzel]

Short answer: I had to go back to gentoo-sources 2.4.20. Both myself and a
friend were having very similar issues with 2.4.22.

I think there's a i2c problem in 2.4.22 that has to be resolved. It may be
patchable, but I haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet. I was hoping the
the new ivtv 1.10 might resolve it, but apparently not.

At this point, I'm trying to work with gentoo-sources 2.4.25 and figure out
why it doesn't work "out of the box". If I get anywhere, I'll post
something. Good luck.
