[mythtv-users] Locks up when spooling to ringbuffer...

[Joseph H. Fry]

You and I need to talk... not that I can help you, but your system
sounds remarkably like the one I'm having a hard time getting working
;-)

Subject: [mythtv-users] Locks up when spooling to ringbuffer...

Hi,

Whenever I leave my 0.8 CVS / Mandrake 9.0 / Matrox G200 / P3-800 /
512mb
RAM / Dell Dimension 4100 / 80gb box running for a day or so (i.e.
spooling
to the ringbuffer), it locks up tight as a drum (num-lock won't even
toggle)!  After that, it's e2fsck -c -y  to repair a zillion errors, and
then it comes up again.  I'm thinking maybe the hdparm dma speedup is
the
culprit?  If anyone has any ideas please suggest!  Oh, btw, when I boot
up,
my BIOS reports this onscreen:  UDMA=100MHZ.  Don't know if that's worth
anything.  I tried switching from ext2 to ext3 but no difference.

Here's the output from hdparm -i /dev/hda.  Can anyone read this?.

/dev/hda:
