[mythtv-users] Re: Long pause when launching mythfrontend

[Greg Grotsky]

Paul, thanks for the response. I tried out cdrecord --scanbus, it completes 
right away and it finds both my hard drives (SATA) but there are no CD 
drives. If I point it specifically at my cddrive (/dev/hda) it also 
completes immediately and finds the drive. Any more suggestions? Here's the 
output if your interested:

It's interesting that cdrecord labels SATA0 scsibus0 and IDE0 scsibus0 also. 
I don't know if that's an issue but I've always had it like this. I seems 
that ever since the mythmusic media handler was implemented I have had this 
problem.

Thanks,
-Greg
