Hi folks, I'm wondering if anyone is using a Tyan K8W S2885
motherboard with a PVR-250?  I searched Gossamer and the
pvrhw.goldfish.org sites.  Both came up empty.  I can't get the card
and mb working together.

I've got the following:
Tyan Thunder K8W S2885 (bios is up to date)
Dual AMD64 Opteron 248
Gigabyte FX5200
Hauppauge WinTV PVR 250 - MODEL 980 
(I know it's overkill for myth, but I have plans to add other services
to it - namely vmware)

My first attempt at installing myth was with a simpler distro -
KnoppMyth R5A10 - just to get things working.  The card was detected
(according to a quick message during boot), and then I'm able to see a
line that says:  "pcilib: Can't open sys/bus/pci/devices".  I've
googled this and I'm not sure if it's related to my problem.  It seems
that that message has to do with udev (which I'm not familiar with). 
A couple scrolling screens later during boot, the system hangs. 
Here's a link to the screenshot:

If I remove the PVR-250 boot continues, but that destroys the whole
idea.  I would have tried a different PCI slot (everything else is
unused), but the PVR-250 can't fit in any of the other slots (the
slots are keyed differently).

I'd appreciate any insight that folks have, especially if anyone got a
similar configuration running.

Thanks,
Greg
