Sorry, don't have that motherboard.  I do have two HD-3000 working.

I would try editing /etc/sysconfig/hwconf, and removing anything CAPTURE
related -- i.e. anything HD-3000 or PVR-x50 related.  Then reboot.  This
should make it re-detect the cards and maybe get it right this time.

I am not at home, but am pretty sure mine does *not* say "Panasonic
VP27s/ENGE4324D".  I wonder what that is about.  You *might* have a bad
HD-3000 -- or maybe the driver did not get installed quite right -- or maybe
there are variations in the board -- or maybe I just have a bad memory.

I am using the "FC2-Kernel-2.6-HD2000-HD3000-drivers.tar.gz (status new)"
driver fromt he pcHDTV download section -- not the driver that came on the
CD.
