Running on Mythbuntu 10.10 32 bit on 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with nVidia GT 210 (proprietary drivers). The machine is both a front- and back-end for mythtv
Detection seems to work and the card is identified properly, but the DVB frontend setup fails. I have tried setting vmalloc to both 256m and 512m, neither helped.
Attached is the relevant dmesg output.

This has been addressed by several patches to the HVR-1600 driver and should no longer be an issue (once these patches are included in the ubuntu kernel).
