[mythtv-users] Hard Freeze. Getting frustrated

[Stewart]

My current myth box, I've used for a year or 2 with no problems.  I 
formatted and re-installed with FC4 and myth and now it is freezing.  It 
may wait a few hours or go almost 2 days, but it lunches hard and 
freezes the box with no info in the logs as to why.  this has been going 
on for about a month now.  I just swapped my xorg.conf back to use the

Here's what I got.

FIC SD-11 Mainboard (AMD 751 North bridge, VIA VT82C686 South bridge)
950Mhz Athlon (Slot A)
80GB Hitatchi Hard Drive
NVidia TNT2 card (not used wth myth)
Hauppauge 350 tuner
Linksys wifi card

I've heard there are issues with some via chips, so I'm calling my 
kernel with the following options(from grub.conf)
title Fedora Core (2.6.13-1.1532_FC4)
         root (hd0,0)
         kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4 ro 
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet noapic nolapic pci=noacpi acpi=off
         initrd /initrd-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4.img

Here's my modprobe.conf
# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias ra0 rt2500
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 ivtv
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
options ivtv debug=1
alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb
install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install 
lirc_i2c
alias eth0 rt2500



here's my lspci output.  Doesn't appear that anything is sharing an 
interrupt or anything like that...
