Ok, so the following patche are what I have applied to 2.6.27.2:
1. http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mcisely/pvrusb2/rev/0bb411d8d2e4
--
1. aw9d-max-dmi-detection.diff 2. pvrusb2-hdw.patch 3. xfs-fix-remount-rw-with-unrecognized-options.patch
Rebooting 2.6.27.2 with applied patches (all 3) and will check to make sure everything is back to normal.
Done, after reboot with the [3] applied patches above, it has fixed all the problems I was having.
Justin.
