Hi there,<BR>
<BR>
it doesnt look like you have anything extrordinary here - I've got the 250, and using the ivtv driver which screws up stometimes (or myth does) but havent tried the ivtv-fb - never had my system lock up like your talking about... Out of common since, since everything on your list is supported under linux, I would guess that it is either the ivtv-fb driver (kernel level, could lock the system up), or the motherboard - form my experience with Linux the kernel will handle most hicups from bad drivers, if you have crazy stuff like this happening (especially out of the blue, even a few seconds/minutes later) I'd be willing to bet it is your mother board/chip set on the mb....<BR>

<BR>
When compiling the ivtv-fb driver, I get a couple of "#warning Using temporary hack for missing I2C driver-ID for" error messages, one for saa7114 and one for tveeprom.c. I have also seen the onscreen error message in the terminal window while viewing the logs"warning: cannot reserve video memory at 0x15000000 (not absolutely sure of the error # there, sorry!)<BR>
<BR>
Since MythTV works just fine w/out the ivtv-fb driver installed, I'm fairly confident this is the culprit. W/out the TV output, the system is virtually useless to me since I don't want to watch TV on a CRT.<BR>
<BR>
I am a new linux user, basically got into it just to get MythTV setup and running. I am very versed in DOS/Windows however, and am willing to learn Linux! :)<BR>
<BR>
I've tried to include as much system info as I can below. Any help you can offer in getting this working will be most appreciated!</FONT><BR>
