[mythtv-users] Machine Lockups

[Blammo[doh]]

For what it's worth, I'm getting the same thing on at least one of my
backend machines, amazingly almost exactly the same hardware, different os
build.

KnoppMyth R4
Asus A7N8X deluxe
Amd Athlon 2400+ CPU
512 MB ram
160 Seagate HD
Nvidia GeForce3 Ti-200 video card

Not sure what causes it, but it's REALLY locked up. My SSH sessions have
frozen, no new connections accepted, machine locked. Same two keyboard
lights flashing as well. It's the scroll lock and caps lock, btw.


What makes me think it's a software issue? This machine, same config, will
run 3dmark03, etc, for hours on end, no lockups, under XP.

Llove to know what it's being caused by.
