----quoted text below---- seanbyrne : 17/09 01:55 : Incident created I have a problem with certain CDs in all the beta - RC2 versions of Mandrake 9.0. When the system is running in KDE desktop (or terminal with ALT-CTRL-F1) with either a root user or restricted user, it can be brought down by simply inserting a Packet (UDF) CD-RW or a Video CD. When I insert either a UDF packet written CD or Video CD, and try accessing the CD, it will attempt to access the CD for about 20 seconds and shortly afterwards, the system will lock up including the mouse. Even pressing ALT-CTRL-F1 (to bring up the terminal) does nothing. I have not seen this happen in any previous version Mandrake even though it does not support packet written CDs. Windows ME, 2000 and XP on my PC have no problems with either packet written CDs or Video CDs and I've never seen the system lockup before by simply inserting a CD! I tried rebooting and accidently crashed the PC at a different stage when accessing the CD-ROM, as there was a Video CD in the drive. Normal CDs, DVDs and Audio CDs have not given any problems yet. My PC Specifications are: 400MHz Pentium II 384MB RAM 20GB & 80GB 7,200rpm hard drives. ALL-IN-WONDER Pro PCI graphics Card. 10MBPS PCI NIC ATA-100 controller card running both hard drives. Samsung SW-408B, 250MB Zipdrive & DVD-ROM (All above connected to IDE interfaces on motherboard). Windows ME on a seperate partition, Windows XP & 2000 on a seperate partition. Mandrake Linux 9.0 RC-2 on a seperate partition formatted in Linux FS. When I power on the PC, Lilo loads up and gives me a choice between the Operating Systems to boot. -----end quoted text----- -- Alan
