Re: PROBLEM: 2.4.21 crashes hard running cdrecord in X.

[Per Nystrom <pnystrom@netmagic.net>]

I should probably just start a new thread with a more correct
description of the problem, but for the sake of thread continuity I
won't just yet.

First, a recap:

What's actually happening is that 2.4.21 crashes hard when magicdev
(part of Red Hat's gnome) is polling the cdrom drive to auto mount/play
a disk when it's inserted, and I try to burn a disk with cdrecord at the
same time.  The problem did not show up until 2.4.21; I was burning cds 
just fine on 2.4.20 with magicdev polling at the same time.  The crash
happens 100% of the time with this combination, and my temporary
solution is to turn off magicdev before burning a cd.

My system is mostly Red Hat 8.  The details can be found in the parent
of this thread, and I'm happy to provide more info -- just ask.

Now, the latest:

I was finally able to get an oops report (I had to copy it by hand from
virtual term tty0; try as I might, it would not show up on the serial
console -- though everything else up to that point did).  I ran it
through ksymoops, and the output is below.  I'm not sure what the
warning is all about; this is exactly the same kernel and .map file that
generated the oops.

This looks a lot like Roland Mas' problem, please see his post titled
"[Roland Mas] Still [OOPS] ide-scsi panic, now in 2.4.21 too" sent
16-June.

Thanks,
