I recently bought a PVR-500 to replace my existing low-quality saa7139 card. I've finally gotten through the various instructions and have gotten nice high-quality video out of /dev/video0.... but only for about 5 seconds, after which my machine reboots!!! There was a previous thread on the list where someone complained of having problems with KT133 motherboards, and since my mobo (Soyo KT400) uses the KT400 chipset, I thought there might be a problem.
Also, with the .3x release of ivtv, it seems that the no_black_magic flag is no longer an option, as I get the following in dmesg when I try to install the card:
cx25840: Unknown parameter `no_black_magic'
In any case: perfect video for a few seconds, then POOF reboot.
