This could very well be the culprit for mythbackend crashing, today's

My backend is a VIA KT266A motherboard (Epox 8KHA+, to be exact) and an
AMD Athlon XP 1600+. I've got a fairly large fan/heatsink combo, as
well as a 120mm exhaust fan right next to the CPU. I didn't want to go
with the VIA motherboard, since I have had and heard of problems with
VIA and Linux, but it was all I had. Anyways, it has been fine.
What is your configuration?
CPU:
Motherboard:
Video Card:
Video Capture Card:
Networking:
Linux Distro:
Gentoo.
Kernel 2.6.12.2
ivtv: version 0.2.0 (rc3j)
AMD Athlon 1.4G
ASUS A7A (yes VIA chipset)
VIDEO Card Nvidia GeForce FX5200
Hauppauge pvr250
10/100 wired network
I built myth 0.18.1.20050510-1 by hand from scratch
Also, what are the exact crashing symptoms? Entire box locks up?
Machine reboots itself?
It's always a silent backend crash. The majority of the crashes
occured right when myth was about to begin recording...
I would see something along the lines of :
2005-10-04 18:59:52.366 Started recording "House" on channel: 1204 on
cardid: 1, sourceid 1
2005-10-04 18:59:52.382 scheduler: Last message repeated 1 times

Starting up as the master server.
Today, however backend crashed while my girlfriend was watching a
recording and I was scheduling a recording through mythweb. The pvr
was not running at all...
