ALSA upgraded to current yum FC4 version and system rebooted. Still 
getting kernel error messages. I have no idea at the moment how to track 
down which module.

Messages like this:

Message from syslogd at htpc at Sun Feb 19 21:09:17 2006 ...
htpc kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 
'mythfrontend', page c13d0d40)

Message from syslogd at htpc at Sun Feb 19 21:09:17 2006 ...
htpc kernel: Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed

The only messages in the mythfrontend log around this time are:

I also get things like this in the frontend log... but they don't 
correlate with the bad page errors so I assume they are unrelated:

2006-02-19 19:56:54.217 VideoOutputXv Error: Child         E    was 
already marked as available.

2006-02-19 19:56:56.669 NVP: prebuffering pause

Ideas?

Despite says a reboot is needed, the system remains stable (at least 
appears to --- programs still record and play as usual).

Michael.
