I sometimes get this problem on my CDROM and I am not sure whether it is hardware related.
At moment my kernel is configured with scsi-emulation because I use a CD-RW also. Sometimes when I mount my regular CDROM I get error messages and segmentation faults. Sometimes it just hangs like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED](1)$ ps PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 267 3 S 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty3 268 4 S 0:00 -bash 269 5 S 0:00 -bash 270 6 S 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty6 283 1 D 0:00 mount /cdrom 314 5 D 0:00 umount / 316 2 S 0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty2 317 4 R 0:00 ps In this case I tried to unmount / also because I cannot kill 283. Not even shutdown can do it. I have to press the reset-button. umount / also failed as you can see. Have anyone experienced something like this before?
