Thanks for your reply, I checked those out and ran a few extra tests:

- Adding "noapic nolapic pci=noacpi acpi=off" to my kernel, as found on
http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Via_motherboard_problems

- setpci -s 00:0c.0 COMMAND=0107 (the exact opposite from
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/users/38179?search_string=VIA%20ivtv%20reboot%20PVR-500;#38179,
since mine was already reporting 0007 to start with)

Neither solved the problem, unfortunately.

The strange thing is, that with a kernel before 2.6.22, I did not have
these issues, so that would point to something software, not hardware
related (or at least a hardware problem that can be avoided).

So, how can I investigate that? I am sorry, I am quite an experienced
Linux user, but the kernel is mostly a black box for me...

Thanks again,
