I had a similar rebooting problem with a different VIA MB (KT266A on Epox 8KHA+) when running with athcool on. The system would spontaneously reboot after about 11 minutes of recording a show (with PVR-150) and sometimes when fast-forwarding a DVD. Deactivating athcool totally clears up the problem for me (though I really wish I could get it to work with Athcool enabled, since it lets me run my fans so low I can't hear them).
So if you're using athcool, I'd say try without, and if anyone has an idea of how to get a KT266A board stable with athcool on, please let me know (I've ensured that PCI Delayed Transaction is enabled in BIOS... saw that on the athcool site as a possible fix, but no luck). -Jeremy On 6/21/05, Michael Carland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm not 100% certain this is caused by ivtv, but this list wins the > friendliest/most knowledgeable contest, and the prize is my question. > > I have an AMD64 machine running Debian sarge with 2.6.11.7, in 32 bit > mode.
