Well Murphy came calling today after my 10+ gig recording marathon yesterday
(recorded constantly from 11am til 6pm)  Now today I can not even record..
damn I thought I had this licked...

I now get:

Aug 18 04:19:12 mythtv kernel: APIC error on CPU1: 08(08)
Aug 18 04:19:13 mythtv kernel: APIC error on CPU0: 04(04)

which is why everything is freaking out again.. well back to the drawing
board.  (until I can actually buy a new motherboard)

Jim
