[mythtv-users] OT : Help! -- BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!

Hopefully some of you more knowledgeable users (more knowledgeable than 
me, which doesn't take much) can give me some debugging advice.

I have had my mythtv for several months running 0.19 on FC4.  Earlier 
this month I upgraded to 0.20 and FC5.  Last week I bought a new drive 
(250 GB SATA) and I installed the drive this weekend, although I never 
even got as far as even putting a partition on the new disk.

Each time I boot the computer, it starts up fine.  I start the 
vncserver.  Some time after, usually around 100 minutes later but the 
last time it was 20 minutes after reboot, the vnc remote session becomes 
unresponsive, and the direct display (my television through a FX5200 
S-video connection) goes blank.  The computer is then locked up.  I 
found the very scary  "BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!" message in 
the /var/log/messages file when I rebooted.

This is what I am running.

**** ******
ASUS P4S800D-X Socket 478 SiS 655FX ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Pentium 4 2.4A Prescott 2.4 GHz Processor
Hauppauge PVR-350
SeaSonic S12-380 ATX12V 380W Power Supply
FX5200 AGP video card
NetGear WLAN PCI card
2 IDE Hard Disks
Sony DVD Burner
SILVERSTONE SST-LC01 case


My first thought was that the SATA drive was the problem, so I 
disconnected the drive, both the power and the data cables, but the 
computer showed the exact same symptoms on the next reboot.

I checked to make sure all the fans were running and tried rebooting 
with the case open.

Last night I ran the memtestx86 from the FC installation DVD.  I ran it 
over night.  I stopped it this morning after 23 passes.  It showed no 
failure.

Can you give me some advice as to what to try next?

------
In my first attempt to post this, I included a too large portion of the 
/var/log/messages file, and it got bounced from the mail list as greater 
than 40 KB.  So here is an excerpt of the /var/log/messages file with 
what I think is the offending error.
