Hey guys,
This is the first time my Linux system crashed. It's a sad and scary
thing.
From Gnome, I launched kscd and everything stopped for awhile, then
CPU and mem usage just shot up like crazy! But it eventually popped
up.
A few seconds later i issued a 'urpmi cdrecord' and it prompted me
for the installation disks.
I insert one, close the drive bay, it reads and then surprise: my
speakers eek out a loud
BUZZZZZ, very very loud! I try to get out of X but there's no
response.
Everything just stopped and I had to reset the computer. I have no
idea what it was but it
scared my pants off. Now everytime I pop in a CD, the same thing
happens -- CRASH!
major, man!
Here's the log of that incident:

I've done all the usual stuff:
1. Checked all the cables.
2. Checked the soundcard.
3. Checked possible resource conflicts.
Result is the same for cdplay, xine, xmms, and all Window Managers (irq
timeout)
What do I do now? That CDROM has been very reliable up to that point.
Hardware:
Intel Celeron 500MHZ
128MB RAM
ASUS Motherboard
Maxtor Diamond Max 15GB (100% 2.4.3-Mdk8.0[ReiserFS])
ASUS 50x CDROM
Creative SB 16 PCI
