If you restart the backend, then the frontend drops to the menu.
On that note periodically, about once a day, and often at the same point
[news fades to a commercial] using dvb with a fusion card
my system hangs with disk locked on. WD raptor, SATA, 2.6.9
It most likely the disk, may be the OS, probably not mythtv-0.16 (but the
repeatablity is a worry).
Anybody else see anything similar?
of course the logs are clean - the disk froze!
