I used to get that on a system built from Mandriva rpms.  That system 
also had problems where my DVB-T card recordings had glitches caused by 
the SATA controller chip. 

I built a new system using IDE drives and Knoppmyth (R5A22 
unfortunately) , and the same DVB-T card, and the system has NEVER had a 
zero byte recording.


Your theory on trouble getting channel locks sounds possible.  In my 
first system, I think it was the SATA controller interfering just at the 
wrong moment (while it was tuning).

Of course, given that Knoppmyth R5A22 was built on an SVN version 
accidentally, maybe it's another completely unrelated problem that the 
myth developers fixed?
