Yeah,
  That would be something to check.. I'm such a newb...

checking on klogd, did the following -
from
/proc
[root at mythtv proc]# cat kmsg
<7>cx88[0]: irq pci [0x8000] ipb_dma_err*

and checking
/var/log
[root at 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!
