HVR-1850 error during boot after apt-get install v4l2-modules drivers installed

[pyrilampes]

810 linuxmce  HVR-1850 causes Kubuntu to crash during boot after apt-get install v4l2-modules and v4l2-firmware have been installed.

This time it gets to "Loading Manual Drivers" and stops.

What log file should I look too and is there an easy fix to get around this?

pyrilampes,
Did you try building the drivers as instructed in: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-1800 ?
Look at your kernel messages. You should see some messages related to loading the v4l2 drivers.
Do:

Code:

dmesg

and look for messages related to cx23885 (this is the driver that the card uses) or other error messages.
I have the same Hauppauge 1850 card and also getting errors when the drivers are loading.
The kernel we are using (2.6.27-17-generic) should support the drivers out of the box. After getting errors, I tried adding the prebuilt drivers and also building the drivers from source - all trials without success (see: http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=10649.0)
