Hello Friends:
I have removed all the PCI devices. I then moved the Hauppauge PVR 150 to
the farthest PCI slot. I have captured the output of
dmesg command
http://pastebin.com/MxHrkAXv
The line number 370 is highlighted that shows something about memory.
Could anyone help based on this highlighted line ?
The output of the lspci is also put here.

I am willing to accept that the card could be bad but I doubt that very
much. I will try to see if the card works in Windoze and find if the card
is at fault.
