[mythtv-users] hard locks with PVR350

[Phil Packer]

I was able to make my epia boxes hang repeatedly whenever the cpuspeed
daemon (on FC3) tried to do whatever it does.

Disabling that at boot 

ie on FC3

service cpuspeed stop
chkconfig cpuspeed off

fixed it just fine!

Wonder if this could be related?

Regards

Phil
