Hans, Does this message mean DMA is completely stopped? That would explain some things. What I do see is that when MythTV starts recording a file is opened but the size never grows. If so, the message should be changed from a warning to a big FAIL! Immediately after the kernel upgrade I didn't see these messages and the system was working. I left my parents house and came back home 350 miles north. I then got a call the next day with info that the system was no longer working. IIRC he had rebooted for some reason. I've been looking at it off and on over the last week. This warning message is the only real clue from an ivtv perspective. I'll see about a reboot into the old kernel.
