[mythtv-users] Trouble adding 2nd Hauppauge 1600 Tuner to slave

I am having issues with adding a 2nd tuner to my slave backend. I did some 
research and found out initially that my problem was I didn't have enough 
memory allocated to vmalloc, so I added a line vmalloc=512m to my startup line 
for the kernel in my menu.lst file.

Here is the output from the latest dmesg command:

It appears that at first the system is actually setting up video1 for cx18-1, 
however everything after that seems to fail. I tried googling the error codes 
and I am not finding much. Anyone have any suggestions? I am running Ubuntu 
9.04 on this slave, it has 4GB of RAM and a Quad Core processor.

Thanks,
-Eric
