I think and I pray that this is the problem.

 

 

OK, when my system starts up it complains that there is a bad line in
/etc/fstab line 9, this is actually a bug in Redhat Bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=159087)

 

And I think when it needs swap space this causes it to reboot.

 

I only have about 256MB of memory and a 700MHz cpu.

Live TV only plays for about 30 secs and it craps out and am able to play
the little bit back that got recorded, even thou it did not record the RIGHT
channel, I would deal with that later (if you know why I would be grateful)

 

 

If you have followed Jarod's guide, can you please email me your
"/etc/fstab" file I would like to see what it looks like. See mine below.

 

 

Thanks

  I had this problem with my PVR350/500 setup with a VIA KT333 chipset. Per
someone's suggestion, I flashed the motherboard's BIOS with the latest
firmware. Took care of it for me! YMMV

I've seen this popup periodically on the list... can you give some
appropriate system specs?  As there are a few cantankerous chipsets 
that will cause this behavior.

If you use the  "PVR-500 reboot"  search query here
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/ 
you'll find a few examples of previous threads.
