Oh great.  I now know how quirky the VT8235 southbridge is.  BTTV and IDE banging DMA out is freezing it.

So I have a few choices:

1. I can remove the card -- but it's a good card!  Downside is that there's some fuzziness, so I'm still running it off the VCR.
2. I can force DMA off on all my IDE drives... which is only a temporary solution.  I can send a bug report to the Linux Kernel developers in the meanwhile.
3. I can switch to SCSI drives... which means looking for a 60 meg SCSI HD and a CD-RW.

Boy do I need a good job.
