on what could be causing this? KT400 chipset issue perhaps? Any
suggestions on a fix and or workaround?</FONT></p><DEFANGED_DIV>

<P><DEFANGED_DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been plunking around with a new
PVR-250 to build a myth box, and have successfully set up a functional system on
a 1.7 Ghz Athlon machine with a KT400 chipset. The install is verbatim from
Jarod Wilson's instructions for myth, using Axel Thimm's ATRPMS
packages....</FONT></P><DEFANGED_DIV>

<P><DEFANGED_DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been trying to 'burn the system
in', and set up a live tv 'capture' (live play) and let it run for a few
days. Trial run #1 hung up in the middle of the night. Trial run #2
ran for 36 hours straight, but then I hopped out and jumped back in (via the
myth menus), and found nothing but a black screen. I'm running debug=1, so I
don't get a lot in the message log, but I did get
this....</FONT></P><DEFANGED_DIV>

<P><DEFANGED_DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any suggestions? Hitting escape
to go back to the myth menu took me back once, but dumping back into capture
spelled the end of that... I could still access the machine (mouse down to the
taskbar) and kill mythfrontend, but I couldn't do a cat /dev/video0 >
/tmp/test.mpg any more. No errors, just sits for ~40 sec and dumps out with
a 0 byte file.</FONT></P><DEFANGED_DIV>

<P><DEFANGED_DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I got the impression that this driver
was pretty stable (for alpha) and haven't seen any similar posts, so I'm
throwing it out here. Feel free to ask questions/make suggestions for
further debugging -- I'm new to IVTV and Myth, but UNIX competent; I know there
is a lot more info that could be pertinent here, but I don't know what's
useful, so I'll wait for questions back.</FONT></P><DEFANGED_DIV>
