This helped me with stability problems on my Pundit (SiS version) and  
PVR250+PVR350 backend+frontend system, installed using Jarod's guide:

Add to kernel= line in grub.conf:
  parport=0 noapic nolapic acpi=off

Also, I turned off USB, serial ports and parallel ports in the BIOS, as  
well as anything related to power management.

Seems to be working so far; my mythfrontend hasn't locked up when using  
ff/rew since I added that, but it may just be me being careful when  
pushing the buttons on my remote. :)
