The use of mkisofs and xcdroster with cdrecord seems to cause this fault
in kernel.log

Other things such as mount hanging on trying to load a .ISO image with
the loopback device:

mount -t iso9660 -o loop bootcd.iso /image
.......waiting......

Here's my debug:

I've included a snip of kern.log as an attachment. I cant make sense of
it ;-)

Here's a ps dump:

root         2 [keventd]        context_thread

....
root      1749 mount -t iso9660 down

it's stuck on something and i cant kill mount?
