    I'm having similar issues with SuSE 9.2 (from a clean install with
    patching up to date).

    My HD is on an Highpoint ATA-100 (/dev/hdg) and my CDROM (/dev/cdrom) is
    on a regular IDE. I've had the identical problem with Fedora Core 3 as
    well on this box.

    In my case grip creates the mp3 folder, starts to create the wave file,
    creates the album directory for the resulting mp3 and starts to create
    an mp3. The resulting files are only a few kb small (incomplete) and the
    process seems to hang. When I try to exit Grip, the dialogue box claims
    grip is still busy.

    I have another box with a more conventional drive layout which seems to
    work fine.

            HD on IDE (/dev/hda)
            CDROM on IDE (/dev/cdrom)

    Perhaps the problem may have to do with the extra controller.

    I'd be interested if anyone has found a work-around.

    Marcel
