<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=642540423-26032004>Okay, here's the
situation: I have been getting lockups and freezes on my PVR-350 (but hey,
who hasn't been?). I've got an MSI 6378 micro-atx mobo with a VIA KLE-133
chipset, which I'm not sure is one of the one's notorious for DMA problems, but
it's probably just a different rev of one of the one's that are. So, I
tried installing a PCI IDE controller, and disabling the on-board. So I
picked up an SIIG UltraATA133 controller and slapped it in. And about 45
minutes into watching ESPN (going for high-motion) screen is completely blank
again, and got this dmesg |grep ivtv output:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

killing mythfront/back-end does nothing, screen is completely blank and session

though not usually. BTW, Fedora Core 1, 1 PVR-350 card, one WinTV Go card,
512MB RAM, Athlon XP 2000+, Caviar 200GB drive, XFS on the /video mount (per
Jarod's how-to) running 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl_37.rhfc1.at. Basically
everything is strictly according to Jarod's how-to, except for the alsa stuff
which I couldn't get to work with my via82cxxx driver.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
