-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----<br>Hash: SHA1<br><br>I didn't think of uninstalling cdrecord. What would I do for that, "yum remove cdrecord" or something like that?<br><br>I did have the cdrecording disabled in the frontend and still had the problems with it locking up. What I have done at this point to fix it, is sort of a hack, but it seems to be working so far. I replaced the cdrecord file with a bash script that does nothing. So when the frontend calls the cdrecord program, nothing is done, and it continues on into the frontend. I wasn't sure if this would work, or if it would cause problems for Mythtv, but it looks like it is working.
<br><br>And thanks for the suggestion on turning on udev logging. I will look into how to do that. So far I have rebooted twice since the cdrecord replacement and haven't seen the lockup, but it is too early to tell. It is possible that the cdrecord was my issue there also.
