As promised (although I've been swapping cards around to see if makes a
difference, and now on irq5 it seems):

PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:0b.0

em8300_video: mpegvideo_command(0x11) failed

On the commandline I get the error:

# modprobe em8300
Using microcode file /usr/share/em8300/em8300.uc
Microcode upload to /dev/em8300-0 failed: 
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/video/em8300.o: post-install em8300 failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/video/em8300.o: insmod em8300 failed

Any ideas?
