I had several unexplained errors when using pvrusb2 with Fedora 11.
Mike Isely assisted me in debugging to the point that it was determined by
me (not by Mike, he did not express an opinion) that it was some strange
problem with the version of the gcc compiler, udev package or possibly one
of the binary library objects with Fedora 11. Using F11 and AMD or Intel, I
could not get the driver to work. Also, turning on debugging flag bits
caused it to crash the kernel requiring a machine reboot. Mike could not
duplicate my problems.
After much "try this and then trying that" to no avail, I downgraded to
Fedora 10 from Fedora 11 with a complete hard drive reformat.
After that, no problems with pvrusb2 or mythtv. My machine is still at F10
for this reason. I have several other F11 machines that don't use pvrusb2
and they are running fine. I have stopped upgrading from F10 to F11 for a
period of time while any compiler issues are shaken out over time.
Will be happy to answer detailed questions off list. YMMV.
This may not be any help, but I am using Fedora 11 with Mythtv and a
pair of 29032 pvrusb2's and have not had any problems with them. The
pvrusb2 module is the one that was distributed with the latest Fedora 11
kernel, so I am not compiling from source:

Let me know if you need any more info.
