I've got a VIA EPIA motherboard, with a CLE 3122 video and Hauppauge WinTV
Go. The TV card is working fine, and I can watch it using xawtv,
as /dev/video0. However, there appear to be some issues with Xv support for
the CLE 3122, as it locksup. And even though I've setup the Video card as a
V4L device, MythTV freezes when trying to watch live tv. I'm assuming this
is Xv related, as I need to pass -noxv to xawtv for it to work.
Has anyone else gotten a working VIA EPIA solution, and how did they solve
these issues?
Maybe you are hitting this:

which apparently has something to do with DMA. Are you using you
network card at the same time?
For me it's easier (not necessary) to trigger when using the network card.
I have an EPIA M10000N system with the same IO chipset and have seen that DMA thread before when investigating why my system was periodically locking up. In my case it actually turned out to be the 2.6.9 kernel's support of Longhaul CPU speed control - upgrading to 2.6.10, which has this turned off by default, has left me with a system that runs for weeks without fault.
I didn't find any reliable way to trigger the lockups though, so if it freezes every time you try live tv, then this is likely another problem.
