Instead of rebuilding to 10.04 I decided to try Mythtv0.24+fixes with the 2.6.36 kernel. After some additional research/user-group posts I have managed to get my mythfrontend working pretty reliably with smooth HDTV playback (something I couldn't achieve before). There are a few glitches when moving from playback to menu but now in a much better state than before. Note, I upgraded both the backend and frontend systems to the same kernel & mythtv versions.
You can see my notes on my latest working setup here: http://michael.dtmc.ca/blog/2011/02/mythtv/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659348 Title: Kernel Oops - unable to handle kernel paging request; EIP is at videobuf_dma_unmap+0x43/0xb0 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This was not an issue prior to the Mythbuntu 10.10 upgrade I did a fresh install of Mythbuntu 10.10 and now during mythtv-setup my DVB-C tuners hang the application during a channel scan. Prior to this I was on 10.04 with myth autobuilds 0.23.1 and it worked with no issues.
