The ipb_dma_err text is probably coming from the v4l or cx88 driver(s), as that seems to be where the text is sourced. I guess that cx88 is your frame buffer chipset. I don't have the source for the v4l modules handy, but for grins, what does cat /proc/interrupts give you? Shooting the dark here, maybe its an interrupt conflict. You could try moving your frame buffer card to another slot. Does MythTV work in this state? Bob...
