I have had same problems, about "disabling irq 5" after I plugged the
card on my computer. Before that everything worked. Is there maybe some
problem with the card or drivers? Anyone else having such
problems/error-messages with nebula pci?

I have also had messages like "BUG: dst underflow 0: d7b0ac80 at
e09723fe", but those are not necessarily nebula related. And in my case,
acpi is mandatory if I want to use my HT processor, adding "acpi=ht" on
the command line has had no changes. But now, computer and dvb-t card is
currently working with 2.6.8.1 (without any error messages in dmesg).
Let's see how long it will be running before crash.
