I have been trying for several weeks to get a pvr-350 working on i686,
actaully, amd semperon. I am running 2.6.13 kernel, ivtv 0.4.1. When I
open mythtv to watch tv, it just gets a black screen. Only way out is to
kill it.

If I do lsmod | grep ivtv, I get:

ivtv 1336932 0

lsmod | grep bttv results in:

Can anyone tell me what the following errors mean?

ivtv: Error: Unknown size (0x00000074) passed to
IVTV_IOC_G_DRIVER_INFO.ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter core team

VIDOCGMBUF:: Invalid argument

and the errors when I run scantv?
