Why is there a conflict ?
If someone has both a pvr-250/350 and a bt878 based card in a box, it would 
mean they couldn't work together ?

I uninstalled the video4linux stuff (I don't own a bt878 card anyway), but 
here the 2.6.17 kernel with latest IVTV still don't work at all.
Worse than that, every ivtv version over the past few months had a problem. I 
need about 10 reboots to make things start. Most of the time udev doesn't 
even start up.

For me there's so far only ONE stable ivtv and that was ivtv-0.3 version. 
Ever since I run FC5 I haven't found a version that does work 100% well. I 
need a dozen reboots to get one successful boot and it's been like this for 
months now. Today's upgrade is the worst ever. It hardly even boots (haven't 
seen a successful boot for the past half hour now, rebooting straight in a 
row). It always stops at "Starting udev".
