I suspect the outdated BIOS and buggy DMA support. CD drive is a combo thing. MDK 10 also hard locks when trying to access the CD-Rom drive. RH 9 hard locked on this machine when trying to write a CD with DMA enabled. No problem with the Knoppix rescue CD: Linux Knoppix 2.4.20-xfs #1 SMP Mit Jan 29 18:47:59 CET 2003 i686 AMD Duron(tm) processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux Will look into a BIOS upgrade and see if that is part of the problem.
