I increased my system memory from 2GB to 4GB and things are not well System board is Intel DG965OT
Has 4 memory slots
I've had the machine for a couple of years with 2 1GB dimms in slots 1 & 3 I added 2 1GB dimms in slots 2 & 4
As far as I can tell everything is working OK except for playback to LML33

I removed the original dimms and put the new ones in slots 1 & 3, 2GB Lavplay works OK
Put original dimms in slots 2 & 4 (4GB total) and lavplay fails

I'm running CentOS 5.2 with kernel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.centos.plus.x86_64

$ lavplay -p H foo.avi
lavplay1.9.0
lavtools version 1.9.0
**ERROR: [lavplay] Error syncing on a buffer: Timer expired

Dmesg shows

LML33[0]: zoran_open(lavplay, pid=[14223]), users(-)=0 LML33[0]: jpg_sync() - timeout: codec isr=0x07 LML33[0]: zoran_close(lavplay, pid=[14223]), users(+)=1

It may be a defective mobo; I've had issues like that with an Asus mobo and an intel chipset (I forget the details...) You may want to google about for similar issues.

The only other thing I can think of is that 2.6.18 is fairly old; you may want to try something more recent.
