Greetings KnoppMythers!

Having problems getting a new PVR-250 recognized on a 1 GHz Athlon (Gigabyte 7Z-MM). And since I'm new to Linux, have been stumbling around not knowing where to look. Dmesg seems to say IRQ 10 being shared by PVR-250, the USB hub, and the network card. Can anyone confirm if this is the problem, or suggest what else to look for (& how)? Has anyone else gotten non-working cards (retail)? I've tried different PCI slots and actually 2 other machines -- I couldnt even boot from the disk in my desktop machine (Asus P4S533) after errorles installs, though I seemed to do better with my wife's old e-machines 500 MHz Celeron with 64 megs of RAM -- at least I got to choose video inputs during configuration, but then black screen & "timeout waiting for data" when live TV selected from Myth.

TIA,
Alex

on the Athlon, lspci -v says in part
