Hello everyone. I am trying to build a settop box with two cards, a PVR-150 and a DVB card. The mini-ITX motherboard has only one PCI slot, so I bought an active PCI riser. First I tried with two cheap lifeview cards on the riser and they worked. The PVR-150 is working fine alone, and so does the DVB card. But when I use them with the riser nothing works. Here's the debugging output when using both cards on the PCI riser.

I even compiled a 2.6.22-rc5 since I found out that the ivtv module got merged in mainline. I mailed this to ivtv mailing list as well, but I thought I would post here in case the support team moved here after merging with mainline. Can anyone please point me to the right way ? Thank you. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
