From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko) Description of problem: Hi, Last night I installed the 4 cd-roms of fc3 (everything), connected to the internet and updated evrything available (just leaving i18 packages other than German). Now I cannot mount any cdrom, wether by automount nor by manual mount. My CDROM is an LTN525 on /dev/hdb. The machine hangs, no mouse move possible, no ctl,alt,f1 to get a console, just left switching out the machine and hoping that nothing is damaged. There is no error message or any thing that could help us. But don't worry, it is just an experimetal installation. peter Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /media/cdrom 2. 3. Additional info:
anything in dmesg ? does it get any better if you disable dma on that drive ? (hdparm -d0 /dev/hdb)
Hi Dave mounting after disabling dma works fine thank you peter
