Has anyone had any luck getting IVTV .61 working in xen (Im on 3.0 unstable changeset Fri Mar 31 00:26:07 2006 +0100 9494:8a8361994904 because of some unrelated driver issues with another device). I keep getting a DMA issue. If this is fixed in a later rev, I will upgrade but that will be a pretty major undertaking on this particular machine, so I thought I would ask for others experience first. This is what I get when the module inserts, this ia DomU kernel BTW.

It has been a while, but I think I had a similar error with ivtv that could be fixed by passing "swiotlb=force" to the kernel (extra in the configs). This was with an unstable changeset in between 3.0.1 and 3.0.2. When I changed over to 3.0.2 I believe it then started to panic with the setting, but booted fine without. Since I've been busy trying to get a FreeBSD domU to work and have it not panic every two seconds, I have yet to look into it further. Additionally when using that setting I could capture video initially, but after some time it would lock up. I don't know if that issue was related. Anyways it would seem as if something affecting the issue was changed in or around 3.0.2--assuming my memory is even partially correct. That setting may still be worth a try, though, if you do not want to try upgrading.

Sorry for the continuous stream of guessing and I thinks---Hopefully it helps,
Andy Clayton
