Hello, I have MythTV 0.19 running OpenSuSE 10.1, which is sitting on an AMD Athlon XP 1800 and an old Biostar motherboard with the VIA chipset and a HopHog PVR 500MCE. I have been bitten by the via chipset problem of have the system reboot spontaneously for sometime.
At the risk of sounding completely ignorant, I have never encountered that problem on a board that wasn't fautly in some way.
I have under clocked this machine to the bare minimum and still random reboots ranging from 5 to 30 minutes of live tv, and forget live tv and record from the second tuner.
Sounds rather like your board/memory/CPU is faulty in some way, your PSU doesn't give enough power, or CPU is overheating.
Gigabyte K8U ULi Socket 754 ATX Motherboard Never heard of ULi chipset. What I can recommend is the GA-K8VM800M - it's a mATX board, socket 754. Yes it's VIA chipset but I can assure you they don't reboot spontaneously. I run a number of web/mail/dns servers based on that board and they all have uptimes of over 100 days, under fairly heavy loads.
