Please don't apologize for the me too message, I would like to know just how many people are experiancing this. If it is only a few it will not likely get much attention. I have been wondering if I should just bite the bullet and just recompile my whole system for i386 and see if that fixes the problem since I have more than enough raw horsepower for a mythtv system using the hardware based decoder of the PVR350. But I really hate to go down that road, it seems so wasteful and besides After going through all of that pain I might discover that the problem still remains!
It seems to me a much more benifical approach to the entire community at large if I could get some debugging guidence from the developers and solve this thing, in the SMP environment and when it gets solved it will be better for everyone. Because if I revert to i386 only and the problem goes away it does not help anybody except me. However if I can't get any support, then I don't know if I have many more options.

Thank you Steve for diagnosing this so thoroughly. I believe I have had the same problem and haven't been able to move up to the latest drivers because of it. I'm still running 0.10.114f along with the matching frame buffer and X driver because I've never been able to get 0.2, 0.3.x nor 0.4 to work for longer than a few hours. I've tried running the X driver included with .114f with the later versions of the main driver, but initialization seems to be a problem with that configuration. I am also running on an SMP and have thought the issue was probably related to that, but I always thought it was in the core driver and not the framebuffer or the X driver. Now that I think about it, I am not using the X driver for playback, only for menus. I play directly through the PVR-350. It symptoms still seem very similar. I apologize for the "me too" message, but I wanted to show that it might be happening to others.
