There are a few devices sharing irq's (usb, audio/usb, firewire/nic) -- the pvr-500 isn't sharing irq's with anything. When the system is idle with mythfrontend running top reads.. Cpu(s): 0.0% us, 0.0% sy, 0.0% ni, 100.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si when I start livetv it reads.... Cpu(s): 28.6% us, 1.3% sy, 0.0% ni, 69.8% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.3% si Does this look normal? Given my 1800... BTW: I am using an ATI 8500DV All-in-wonder as my videocard (I already had it -- didn't/don't want to spend money on something I already have if it will work, I know nvidia is suppose to be better :} ) Nasa > You could also remove the ivtv card/modules from the system if you > believe it is causing the reboots and see if the system stabilises > without it. > > Nick > _______________________________________________ > mythtv-users mailing list > mythtv-users@mythtv.org > http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
