From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: I have a dual boot dual, disk system where redhat is on a second 60 Gig hard disk. I've noticed that I can't boot back into windows when I mount the primary disk. Also when I'm root I can't transfer data from the vfat partition to a home directory without the system locking up causing a reboot. We're talk about tranferring 500Mg to 1 Gig of images, music and data. The first time I did a fsck a couple times, that didn't fix the problem, so I did the e2fsck and that hosed the entire disk causing me to reinstall and deal with the up2date issue again. There is something dealing with kjournal as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.20-6 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Mount vfat partition as root 2. cp data from vfat partition to linux as root or 3. cp data from vfat partition to linux as normal user 4. tar data from vfat partition to linux as root or user Actual Results: The system hangs, with te exception of mouse movement, all lights on the keyboard light up and sometimes blink. Expected Results: The data is either copied or tarred to the linux parition Additional info:
I think I might have found a solution. When doing a file copy, I ran top, which showed me that it was autorun that was hogging the resources and causing the system hang. So, I removed the autorun package (had version 3.11), deleted the .autorun.lck file from my home directory and removed ~/.kde/Autostart/Autorun.desktop Removing the package fixed it for me, but KDEInit will ask for the package until you remove it from the Autostart folder.
