zone minder locking up centos?

[jamesk]

I have had zone minder work before..with some issues. It was perhaps one of the last installs to put on my centos system. Now when I load the os, the last module to load is zone minder. The monitor will either stay black or goto a blue desktop color and stay that way. I have put the OS into a I mode and tryed to say "NO" when it ask if I want zone module to load. In this case, zone minder load option is skipped over and the rest of the OS tries to load.

What options do I have to resolve this?

While in Single user mode type in

chkconfig --level 12345 zm off

This will stop the zoneminder service from starting during the boot process

regarding blank or blue monitors, i have a feeling its related to permissions on video device; what do you get when you issue

ls -l /dev/video0

(or video1, video2, whatever your capture card assumes, if you are using one);

also, try to run

zmfix

and tell if it makes any difference for you;

good luck !
