I actually did just do that, and it's worknig now (and in the other PCI slot
to boot!). vmalloc=256M did it.

Nick can you offer any tips/experience on your HVR-1600 usage?? I am in a
dilemma right now as to whether I should keep it or return it and grab
another cheap pvr-150 for the moment. My main thing is having a card that
can capture HD/digital for the future when I get an antenna, and also analog
for right now.

Thanks
Bob
