[mythtv-users] cx88 pci_abort messages

[Scott]

Greets all.

I'm setting up a MythTV 0.20 box on Gentoo 2006.1 I have the entire  
system built and can record but I don't think things are quite right  
yet. In dmesg I'm seeing lots of the following output from my DViCO  
FusionHDTV 5 Gold adapter. My signal is OTA ATSC. i don't have a  
cable box hooked up and am not using QAM.

	cx88[0]: irq mpeg  [0x80000] pci_abort*
	cx88[0]/2: general errors: 0x00080000
	cx88[0]/2: cx8802_stop_dma
	cx88[0]/2: cx8802_restart_queue
	cx88[0]/2: cx8802_start_dma w: 0, h: 0, f: 2
	cx88[0]/2: setting the interrupt mask

My problem is that playback of "live" HDTV streams seems a bit rough  
(occasional frame drops, picture jumps, pixilation) both through  
mplayer dvb:// and mythtv. The above messages aren't specific to  
MythTV as far as i can tell. I also see them when using mplayer to  
read the dvb stream.

My hardware is an Asus P5B, Core 2 Duo E6600, 1GB RAM, and SATA 3G  
drive. For video I'm using a Gigabyte 7600GT. I'm not using XvMC,  
however, as testing with Xv seems to indicate I have plenty of cpu to  
handle HDTV playback. In fact, several 1080i test clips and one 1080p  
clipI have show no problems being played back from mplayer.

So, anyone seen the above errors before? They're not fatal but from  
the sound of them it seems like something isn't right on the PCI bus  
which could be impacting performance of the box. Any help would be  
much appreciated :)
