Hi, I'm now running 9.0, but I can't get it to work while my CD writer is connected to my motherboard [Most likely, I also had this problem with 8.2, but my hardware setup was different there, so it's not the best to compare] I was unable to install with the drive connected to the motherboard, so I disconnected, installed without it and have since tried to reconnect the drive and boot. All those attempts have resulted in lockups.
I tried all combinations of apic/noapic in the bios and as a boot parameter to linux as well as with and without supermount. The net result: supermount has no effect on this freeze. Booting with/without noapic in lilo has no effect either. With APIC off in the bios, I can't even boot, but with APIC on in the bios, I can start and log into the console, but logging into KDE freezes the computer. The last message in the logs before the freeze is (unsurprisingly): Oct 1 17:45:56 localhost kernel: Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 I put the output of dmesg up on the web: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~narfi/dmesg.txt and http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~narfi/dmesg_noapic.txt for the 2 cases where supermount was enabled, apic enabled in bios and lilo was run with or without the "noapic" parameter. Please let me know if you need any more info Narfi.
