which msp3400 are you using? My installation with 2.6.10 was rather 
unstable untill i replaced the kernel msp3400 with the ivtv version. 
Althought the kernel version now supports the ivtv driver, it is most 
definitily not yet ready for prime time. After swithing back to the ivtv 
version my master backend stabilized remarkably.

I am using the same ivtv version as you are. Doing it on a supermicro 
mobo and slackware 10. Myth CVS as from Dec 23.
