This may or may not be mythtv related, but it's happening while using
myth, so I'll start here. I'm trying to do a slideshow in Images.
After a few pictures (the number varies), the machine locks up hard.
Sometimes I get a pattern blinking at me on the keyboard lights, but
sometimes I don't. If I hit the power button, rather than having to
hold it down for several seconds, the machine immediately powers down.
Syslog shows nothing that might indicate what is going on, and, since
the machine is locked up, I can't check the console to see if there is a
kernel panic message. Here are the specs on the machine:
Chaintech 7NIF2 MoBo
AMD Athlon 2400+ CPU
256 MB RAM
160 WD HD
Fecora Core 1
kernel-2.4.22-1.2197.nptl

The file systems are ext3 on the OS partition, and ReiserFS on the
videos partition, in case that matters. The photos I'm viewing are on
the ext3 partition, and there are 262 pictures, in case *that* matters.
The box does not appear to be hot, as it feels very cool to the touch.
If anyone has any thoughts on what might be causing this machine to
lock, I'd sure love to hear them. Thanks a lot!
