[mythtv-users] HD-3000: when scanning for channels, couldn't probe inputs...

Hello,

Like many others, I'm trying to get a HD-3000 card to work with MythTV. 
I'm using MythTV v0.17 (debian package), pcHDTV 2.0 drivers, 2.6.11.4
kernel, and Debian 3.1.  When I go into mythtv-setup, I can setup the
card as a DVB and the card type comes back as "Success" but the card
name says "Could not get card info for card #0!" 

I am not sure if this is even the right procedure, but from reading 
other mailings it looks like all I need to load is the cx88-dvb module 
and setup everything as a DVB device instead of using the PCHDTV capture 
card configuration.  It looks like some people are using v4l2 drivers, 
which I'm assuming uses the cx88-atsc module, but loading the module 
immediately causes a kernel panic.

When I try to scan for channels, I get the message "Failed to probe the
card" and on the console get "Couldn't open /dev/video32 to probe its
inputs".  Here's the modules, log output, and device driver entries I
have.  Anyone care to tell me what step I'm missing?
