First off thanks so much to this list and to Jared for helping me set up a working mythtv box. My setup:
AMD Duron 650Mhz 384mb RAM Samsung 160GB HDD FX5200 Hauppauge PVR250 FC3 2.6.10kernel
Ugh. It could be so many things. Are you running a VIA chipset ? Have you checked the Capacitors on your board lately and are they leaking (Brown Goo) ? Do you have a decent power supply ? Have you checked the RAM lately with Memtest86 ?
So many ways your system could be borked. It's possible you are triggering some weird race condition in myth due to a low-end cpu, but apparently people have run myth on PIIs so I doubt it. That's a fairly slow piece of gear these days. $99 bucks gets you a Sempron 2200 with motherboard if you shop around.
I have myth running on a P3 933 quite well as a front end. Last time I had problems with the IVTV and a system it was because I had bad capacitors. Pulled it all and replaced it with a nforce2/sempron. Since then I fixed the bad caps on the old board and it runs reliably as a windows box. Haven't tested mythtv on it again.
Good luck,
