Presumably syslogd and klogd are doing something. Bob...</blockquote><div> Yeah, That would be something to check.. I'm such a newb... checking on klogd, did the following - from /proc [root@mythtv proc]# cat kmsg <7>cx88[0]: irq pci [0x8000] ipb_dma_err* and checking /var/log [root@mythtv log]# cat messages Dec 29 18:28:50 mythtv kernel: : irq pci [0x8000] ipb_dma_err* Of course these messages were spammed like crazy. I am going to google these errors and search archives. If you find anything of interest let me know, as I will reply to this if I find anything. On a side note, thanks. I have already learned a lot, I have never checked logs before... so I had to find them first! JT </div></div> </blockquote></div></div>Ok, I haven't been able to find anything. Searched the following - Google "ipb_dma_err* site:<a href="http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/ </a>" Since it's a mythtv system I am trying to build. "irq pci [0x8000] ipb_dma_err* site:<a href="https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/%22" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/" </a> On Google Linux Search "irq pci [0x8000] ipb_dma_err" and various iterations. However all I get are kernel mailing list patch notices, or nothing. Seems it's a PCI DMA error? I am starting to lean towards a problem with one of the cards I have installed, just cause I can't think of anything else.

Thanks. JT</blockquote><div> Bob, I haven't started config on mythtv yet. It takes forever for Firefox to start, I couldn't imagine mythtv doing much better. I assume by buffer card you mean the capture card I have? It's a PCHDTV HD3000 card. The guidance I have found states the drivers are in the kernel. If you think moving it'll help let me know.
