I don't have the ivtv-drivers, so it's not that.

My config is:
Debian unstable
ECS K7S5A
Athlon XP 1800
onbard ide channels
Mythtv-HD is hdb1, a 80GB Maxtor with ext2.
TV-Tuner is kncone with bt848

I have had a setup that was working without crashed for over two
months. It was a cvs release from around 0.8. Then the builtin
mythtranscoder thing tempted me and I eventually switched to the
current cvs.

As I mentioned in a mail earlier, I was trying to switch back to the
latest release that is working on my system. This way, I thought, we
might find out, which cvs change is making trouble on some systems.
The problem now is that I can't switch back any more. Each time, I try
to compile a cvs - say from 03/17/03 - it stops compiling with this
error:

Since the time I have successfully compiled a 0.8 release and now I
have done several system updates.

I was able to compile a version from the middle of may -> Total
freeze during recording.

The latest cvs has a mythfrontend that won't start on my system. It
says: "unknown element uparrow". It might also be my fault. I am still
trying out.
