Some more information:
- When transplanting the 500 card and the hard drive to another machine
(an HP xw8200 workstation), the machine works flawlessly, staying up
all night recording random programs.
- When not using mythtv, the system still crashes. ie
cat /dev/video0 >foo0.mpg & cat /dev/video1 >foo1.mpg
will crash within half an hour or so.
I tried unplugging the network, removing all other PCI cards from the
system, even unplugging the DVD drive (hey, maybe it's a power issue?)
Still crashes. I think at this point I'm convinced it's a hardware
issue. I'll call the shop I brought it from today.
A more serious problem is this list's poor etiquette. Upon my first mail
to this list, I received the standard automated reply saying that you
love your little clique and I'll have to wait for someone to approve me.
I disapprove of closed mailing lists in general, and nowhere is there a
warning (perhaps on the Wiki which directs people to post here?) that
this is a closed list. It prevents effective crossposting and is anyway
ineffective against spammers. But hey, I'm asking for your help, so I
don't complain about it.
But imagine my horror when, 5 days later, I discover myself subscribed
to this list! What kind of moron thinks that's acceptable behaviour?!
At least *warn* people so they can set up procmail rules before
subscribing them.
Disgusted.
