Hello,

I have a weird problem with my myth box. It's a P-III 700 Celeron with
384 MB of RAM, all Intel Hardware i815 chipset and an PVR 350 running
Debian Sarge and 2.6.12.4 Kernel, acting as a front- and backend. Upon
system startup everything works correctly and without problems, however
after a few days of uptime the box would OOPS and hang. Follwing dump
from that:

I read there, the box uses up all the RAM...All I can do is a hard
reset. After that, it works correctly for a few days again. That OOPS
occurs typically when switching to live TV. I've experienced that for
quite a while however I didn't success to reproduce it at will. I am not
sure whether mythtv (with 0.18 and CVS happens the same) or the driver
itself causes that OOPS. Following info from the ivtv drivers (I've
stripped the timestamp, for readability). If you need more information,
just ask.
