I had an AMD system with a via KM400 and the reliability of the system, especialy in playback, was very low. I changed to a nforce2 motherboard and all problems went away.
On the flip side, I've never had a problem with any of the motherboards I've used, which includes a pair of nForce2 boards, but also two older dual PIII boards (one Intel, one Asus), a KM400, a KM266 and a KT266A (on which my PVR-500 currently resides)...

The production backend is a dual Xeon 2.2 and the only linux Xeon I have.. I might just have to yank it from the rack and use it on the desk for a while until after we get vbi slicing and scaling completely going.
Eh well. :P

At the risk of being completely flamed here, in my experience the PVR 500 wont work with most VIA chipsets. I have tried it in a ASROCK K7 AMD2400 board and a VIA EPIA and both did exactly the same as yours.
It had nothing to do with the power supply as has been highlighted in a different post. Read the recommended hardware requirements and it will tell you: Processor requirements: PentiumR IV processor 1.2GHz or faster for TV pause with full screen playback
I changed to a P4 3Ghz Intel and all is good. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Cheers Grant

Hey all,
Well, I've hit a new little snag. I've been shuffling around machines since I got the PATA card, and I've set up this Athlon XP 1700 as my test machine for myth and the PVR500...
However, when I tried 0.3.2i, I got about two seconds worth of data before the machine reset.
And I tried f, and I got about 20 seconds worth of digitally noisy data before the machine reset.
then I tried megapatched e, and I got variable lengths of noisy data before the machine reset.
I recall seeing somewhere that there was an issue with motherboards with VIA chipsets... Is this actually true? I also tried turning off preemption, so I have an 8kstacks uniprocessor kernel without preemption and it just simply resets while decoding.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks, Jason
