Post subject:  Problem Adding AverMedia A180 Capture Card [SOLVED]
Edit: It seems that the problem was the PCI slot placement. Moving the A180 to another slot fixed it.

I just installed an A180 next to my old PVR-250. On reboot, myth at first started up like normal but needed the cards to be rearranged (PVR-250 used to be /dev/video0 but was changed to /dev/video1, for some reason).

After configuring the A180 I can receive shows just fine. I reboot again and now mythfrontend doesn't come up at all. It seems the mythbackend thread has become defunct and the mythfrontend threads go into "uninterruptable sleep".

When I look in the logs, old dmesg's output something like this when capture cards are detected:
Code:

Notice that the initialized card is a Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250.

Now, this is what I get after everything started acting weird:

The initialized card is a PVR-150 now. I have a feeling that this is why mythbackend keeps hanging which makes mythfrontend hang.

Here's the log for mythbackend:

Any ideas? I'm at a loss.
