More memory does not appear to help. Did anyone manage a fix for this?
In my case, it turned out that my network card was on the same IRQ as
all three IDE channels (software RAID-5), and while the box would
usually record OK, if I was doing something network-intensive (like
watching TV on the remote Myth frontend) the network card would
generate so many IRQs it was delaying the drives to the point where
the front-end would stutter, ivtv would overflow, and eventually the
RAID driver would fail a drive. That would have been fine, except
that the ethernet watchdog (tulip driver) would panic the kernel. I
tried forcing the cards to specific IRQs but the tulip driver
wouldn't behave. I switched to a different ethernet port and ALL of
the problems went away.
Interesting, I have a rather fast mythbox, AMD 2800+ with 1G ram and a
single pvr250. The buffer overflow often occurs in the middle of the
night when the only load on the machine is mythbackend recording.
