Hi Ohta,

Thanks for the patches. If I'm not mistaken there are several variants 
of this card: without upd* devices, only with upd64083 and with both 
upd devices. Which one do you have?

Can you also show the dmesg output when ivtv loads?

Looking at the four patches, I would say that the only relevant patch is 
the fix-probing patch. If you try it with only that one applied, does 
it still work correct for you? Note that this patch will not work with 
a KUROTOSIKOU card that has no upd* devices at all.

Can you also give me the kernel backtrace when you load ivtv with the 
vanilla 2.6.26? I do not quite understand why it should crash.

Regards,

	Hans
